Fantasy and Fugue in C minor (alt.), BWV 537 Click to Listen, [10:11] (A=465)
Pensive prelude joined with, some say "Tragic" others say "Uplifting" Fugue. Alternate version, with the Prelude much slower than usual, suggested by Russ Davis:
The slow-speaking low C pedal note at the beginning has an extraordinary effect of real gravity when taken at the slower tempo that you just don't get in the faster tempo, yet providing just as good a foundation from which to jump off into the fugue.
Instrument: Gottfried Silbermann Organ, St. Georgenkirche - Rötha, Germany (1721) - Samples by Brett Milan
