That particular pianist, Paul Barton has a whole bunch of very nice renditions of various pieces, he lives in Thailand and seems to be a genuinely nice person as well based on the videos of him that I've watched. Two recommendations, the one is Bach's version of the adagio, the other the fugue part of 'Toccata and Fugue'.

Also a big Paul Barton fan! He has a nice video playing the 18th Goldberg Variation by JS Bach (my favorite one).

And he is also a great painter and there is an awesome video of him painting a portrait of Josh Wright, who is a concert pianist that has lots of educational videos online.

One thing I love about watching Barton is that he has the hands of a mere mortal. So you can see how he accomplishes various reaches and fingerings if you don't have gargantuan piano hands.
