Bach's music has so much variety! Here's a piece that really takes advantage of MIDI. Few, if any, human organists would be able to play this thing like this (Of course, many would not want to, I suppose). But when played fast like this, a kind of whole new feeling comes through which I love.

This is a MIDI performance that I made straight out of the sheet music. There's no attempt to "humanize" the flow. I find that these faster Bach compositions sound pretty good this way---especially since one can hear all the notes more clearly.

This new organ sample set is largely based on the original Caen Cavaille-Coll virtual organ by Sonus Paradisi. It's size has been doubled by the addition of new ranks by Custom Hauptwerk Organs (now up to almost 100 ranks from 55). This is truly a BIG French Romantic instrument.

(Headphones will give the best listening results.)
