John Scott plays Johann Sebastian Bach Prelude and Fugue in a minor, BWV 543

John Scott (June, 18 1956 - 12 August 2015) performance of Johann Sebastian Bach: Prelude and Fugue in a minor, BWV 543 on the Taylor and Boody Organ at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue.
This was original posted on June 2, 2009. This new version is greatly improved. The hum and background hiss is gone, the color balance much improved. The original Final Cut file was lost, but raw video was not lost. Stephen Buzard, a former associate at Saint Thomas Church listened to the session tapes and gave me a road map to re-edit the video. I post this again to honor the memory of John Scott.

An great artist who will be missed. I had the honour of hearing him live. I will never forget it.

For me as a Dutchman it was a great surprise when I once was in this church, I walked in it, and when I went out of the Church, I saw the prospect of the organ of the Hooglandse Kerk in Leiden!
