Thanks for posting!
Liked it a lot.

Here's a clip of the same instrument, with Menno van Delft playing Böhm's Vater unser im Himmelreich.

The instrument was constructed by Arp Schnitger, and built (1699-1701) by two of his employees: Rudolf Garrels and Johannes Radeker. (Garrels also built the famous organ in Maassluis.)
After the last restoration (Bernhard Edskes, 2001) the organ in Uithuizen exists of Hoofdwerk, Rugwerk & Pedal; 28 stops, 21 of them are original Schnitgers.

Thanks for the link Bill. The fellow organist seems to live every note he played and of course there is the unique sound of Schnitger...
I also wached all the Passacaglia videos.Hmmm, I think nobody ever reached the perfection of the performance Peter Hurford gave in 1983 recording in Our Lady if Sorrows Church in Canada. He did a tremendous acceleration of feelings from start to end with no rush at all, so all beautiful accidentals written by Bux can be deeply understood.
What you think?
