Re: Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D-minor BWV 565 MP3 Download

I rather like the playing of this peice. I have a couple of questions though. When chooseing your registration what made you choose your stops. I tend not to play most of Bach's music with the listed registration. One, because the organ i play at can't handel all of that and is only 2 manual. Two, i find that the music looses a certain amount of expression when the stops get too vigorous. Is this an acceptable opinion or am i jus unexperienced.
Sorry for the (mildly speaking) late reply, but better late than never I guess...
J.S. Bach himself generally left very few registration suggestions, and none for this piece. So any listed registrations in the Toccata & Fugue in D minor are later additions and can be disregarded if you feel you have come up with a better registration yourself. So yes, it's an acceptable opinion, indeed. Now, whether your choices of registrations actually are better than the listed is a different question that I of course cannot answer without actually listening to your playing and knowing the instrument.
