You'd easily hear the difference in temperament (intervals between the notes) if the organ was tuned differently than what has been used in Western music for the last couple of hundred years.
Check out this little demo:

Fascinating. Thanks for posting that. :-)
Just got the Koopman set. You are absolutely right and there are things in the preludes and fugues that I never heard before. It quite overwhelming (sound is magnificent) and the dissonant play with pace and time if dramatic and probing. Quite a thrill so far. Won't at this time compare this set to any other that I own...Just enjoying this too much.
Glad you liked the Koopman set! Before this complete set, he recorded three prior Bach discs issued on LP and then on CD, the Novalis label. I have one of these, and it's also quite enjoyable.
About two years ago, I heard Koopman play an inaugural recital here in Cleveland on a newly renovated tracker organ, mostly Bach--and it was a wonderful recital with an improvisatory flexibility to the playing that went beyond the Teldec set. One of the best organ recitals I've ever heard!
