Compositions, to be clear.
It was tricky to find 2 videos with a similar format and also where the organs aren’t tuned that dramatically differently.

Both are großartig but I'm partial to the Chaconne's relative stillness.

when english native speakers use the word großartig it is not the same as when german native speakers use it. i think in the former case it is even more magnificent.

actually many people in germany - including myself - use the word großartig mainly in an ironic way. to say that something is rubbish and not great at all.

Interesting. Is it a generational thing?

i don't know. maybe. it could be that german history has to do with it. after the 3rd reich which defined itself as großartig the word has just totally lost its original meaning. the nazis discredited it. which in the end i don't find so bad.
