Bach Passacaglia Recordings: Speed
on: September 25, 2021, 06:36:52 PM
Hello, all. I have been listening to Xaver Varnus' rendition of Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor on and off for the past couple of weeks. While I greatly enjoy his choice of tempo, which is by far the slowest I have heard it, I find some of his stop changes a bit irksome. Does anyone know of a recording or video of the Passacaglia played in organo pleno at around the tempo Varnus takes? Every other recording I can find is a bit fast for what I'm looking for (not to say that they are too fast for my enjoyment, I am just looking for something a bit slower).

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
