BWV 741 - Chorale Prelude "Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein"
A four-and-a-half minute piece, recorded two years ago by Leo van Doeselaar on the organ of St Catherine's Church in Hamburg (where Bach himself performed twice in his life - in 1701 and 1720 - of not necessarily on the precise organ that van Doeselaar plays).

Another work I don't remember ever having heard before. When listening, it seemed a little familiar, somehow - the interview with the organist reveals the source of my "semi-recognition"!
Sixteen years old when he wrote this - not really the "child prodigy" suggested in the interview, but certainly a prodigious achievement. (If I were to look upon the Harmony and Counterpoint exercises I did at the same age, it'd probably depress me beyond endurance. Better to stick to admiration for what Bach achieves here, I think.)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

I assume you refer to the use of the Chorale melody by Mozart ferney,seems he wasn't the only one

Partita for Solo Violin in d minor, BWV 1004
A performance recorded last November by Sunske Sato in front of a very lucky audience of seven listeners in the "Old Village Church" in Bunnik (a village in Holland, South-East of Utrecht) - a perfect venue for such nuanced Music and Music-making. (A wee bit "expressive" for the slower dances? Could anyone dance to such tempo shadings? Still; captivating and convincing as it was happening, I felt - and a decent professional dancer could work wonders with it.)
Culminating in the astonishing Chaconne, this is Music that simultaneously humbles and "elevates" the attentive listener - well worth devoting half-an-hour of the weekend to.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

There are about 2 minutes of music in the Chaconne,from 22:24 in this performance,which always make me cry,though in the Busoni piano transcription they seem even more devastating.
No idea why.

The one Elgar and Strauss were supposed to orchestrate jointly before Straussy bottled it ?
