Jean Ferrard, organist playing on another Silbermann organ
I agree with the organist's decision to not play the pedal trills marked in the score (if those were in the one being played on, not possible to know) because when the counterpoint is this lively and involved they'd have gotten in the way. Here the sustained statement of the chorale melody that starts in shorter notes in the upper voices is much clearer.
It's too bad Pachelbel became known for that one, repulsively over played canon because he was a very find composer who wrote a lot of other music.
