In the late 1970s, I was married, for a couple years, to a German girl who played this. She was a multi-instrument virtuoso who trained at The Regensburg Conservatory under Herbert Von Karajan. She would play the organ at a small Catholic church in Tempe, Arizona, just playing all the music for a typical Sunday Mass. At the end of the Mass, the Priest would say, "The Mass is over; go in peace." And when he said "peace", she would play this prelude and fugue. The Priest and altar boys would proceed down the aisle of the church to exit via the front doors, but not a parishioner would leave until the song was finished. Each week she would end the Mass with a different prelude and fugue, but this one was everyone's favorite. Her name was Rita Kretzer Perin. Nowdays, she teaches music in München.

I love the the majestic voice of this organ and the sound is just sublime and takes you into GODS ALMIGHTY awesome and majestic presence. The interpretive playing by this organist is as beautifull as it is amazing.

Wow ...The best performance I've heard

[michaelslater]

Fantastic! ! That little trill on the pedal at 0.48 blows me away, never seen that before.

[neocortexlab]

It's the kind of piece you'd love to have played at your wedding.

[contrabombarde]

The best and most powerful performance I ever heard at this piece.

Kind regards,

Alex.

love the fugue the dance like rhythm really makes it so happy.

[douglasbruce]

For a long time attributed to Bach. But musicologists now attribute the piece to one of Bach's students, likely Johann Tobias Krebs. A fine piece all the same!

[jjjp]

Looks like you almost had a fit at the keys. However, a very enjoyable, robust performance :)

[MrUseur]

Very good.I like BWV560. But BWV564 is even better.

[johnwidmann]

Great piece, very unlikely Bach's. Probably Johann Tobias Krebs. Still, nice, and fun.
