I love Biggs and Bach as well. This recording and several others are on SACD. You are setting at the bench with feet on the pedals when you listen!

It's not nearly as cut and dry as that. The toccata, then the fugue, then the toccata returns, intermingled with the fugue at the end.

No one can match E. Power Biggs for Bach organ music!

Because they're metronomic they're not authentic?

Bach is a master of blending mathematical patterns into a tapestry of acoustical mystery and form.

Although sometimes, to be a great artist (let alone musician), you also need to feel less than humanly normal.
