A scheduled post, as is the next one and the previous one.
The flurry at the beginning is fun, but just wait till the toccata gets going after the pedal solo. The first time I heard this I smiled for a week. Is it not the most joyful thing you have ever heard? I would love to play this after an Easter vigil, if I could think of a way to start it without the introductory flurries (and could remember how to play the organ at all, never mind how to play this, twelve years on, and so on and so forth). Double-click so it goes through to the Youtube site, then you can click on the relevant things on the right-hand side to get to the adagio and fugue, which are in separate videos. I love this chap’s playing of the toccata and the fugue, and the adagio is perfectly nice too.
