Bach and strange videos

Those who know me know I like JS Bach and his organ music. I found this video over on YouTube and think that it's worth sharing:

It's Bach's Fugue in e minor, S.548/2, nicknamed the "Wedge". If you look at the score for this, the main fugue subject looks like a wedge. And that subject is replayed at key places throughout, in either the manualiter or the pedaliter. Speaking of which, it has a great pedal part, by the way...
