counterpoint - in general, i love your 'impression.'  the only thing is that the tempo seems rather sporadic.  i'd like to hear it more even.  but, perhaps this is a 20 or 21st century desire and not necessarily what bach actually did.  i know that you live in bach country - so - i suppose if i heard this on an organ - i might like the delays better.  i would consider them to be a function of the decay of sound with an organ.  vs. a piano which has no real delay.

ps kudo's for learning all of them!

what a GREAT job with voicing in the fugue.  those things are difficult.  and the trilling is really nice.

Yes, Bach lived 500 kilometers and about 280 years away from me  ;)

In general, Bach is played very strict (in Germany as well as everywhere else)

So I have absolute no excuse for my excessive rubato. I'm a musical anarchist  ;D

I learned them in the past 35 years, so there was enough time  :)

I'm glad about your comment on the voicing  I've really worked on that.

I'm aware that there is much more exitement and energy than real mastery, but anyways: I'm glad about such nice encouragement from someone like you!  :)
