For fans of J.S. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue

[chrisb]

Not an accordion, but the melody is still almost(?) recognizable

Definitely and accordion:

And getting Bach to it

Wow, and thanks! Both of these accordion performances are nothing else than stellar (especially this beautiful Spanish (?) lady's)
!

Best regards!

Edit: Found out she's Italian.

Nothing will beat the real thing, attend at a performance of Toccata and Fugue in one of Germany's historic churches.

 

[Kay Pirinha]

Of course. But isn't this thread about classical music on unusual or unexpected instruments?

Best regards!

Kay, Ken started this with reference to a specific piece, so he could pipe in on how far astray were going?

The OP's intention is unknown to me, but judging by the chosen title, the thread is primarily about Toccata and Fugue. It is not surprising that the initial poster has opted for a spin-off that he considers remarkable, since there are many spin-offs, and for lots of people they form the initial introduction to the work. It is, as it were, common. Less ordinary, even special, is it when people visit a performance that does justify the historical, religious and cultural intertwining of the work with the place of performance and used instruments. Where they can experience the overwhelming quality and dynamic range of a full-size organ to it's full beauty.

I hope this explanation is sufficient to help you understand post #23.
Zum Wohl!
