Then there's the Stokowski orchestration:

Although I think that listening to some organ versions can shed new light. For instance, the interpretation given here lies very much in the romantic vein:

I would recommend the tuba/euphonium version of the fugue on the Gerhard Meinl Tuba Sextet CD. My quartet played the same arrangement - it is great fun.

I also like Jacques Loussier's version.

For a classical piano version, I recommend Tatiana Nikolayeva (published by the old Soviet Mezhdunarodnaya Knig). This goes for all of Bach's keyboard music.

Try Itunes. They have the Canadian Brass version and it is only $.99! Not bad for an instant sound file.
