I didnt like the Prelude very much, but the Fuge is really nice :)
-
Sorry but THESE pieces are real masterpieces. Absolutely perfect under every point of view.

Oh I just love this stuff! I love the second set of Preludes and Fugues!

Maybe so, but it is one of the "goofiest" fugue subjects in the literature, and is really riveting when set in counterpoint. Great stuff!

Which pipe-organ is shown at 7:00?

Sadly not a pipe organ but the outside of the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. It houses a vast public library, it was designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano. All the pipes carry the essential services, air conditioning, water etc.

Where did those reeds come from? Certainly Roth (good as he is) never uses them!!!!!

I think we can put this down to microphone placement, LPs tended to be miked much closer than we do now (thats my opinion). I dont think the reeds have been revoiced, but they seem to have more fire here than recent recordings, or may just be choice of registration...

Not my favorite Dupré -- but even mediocre Dupré is better than the best of many composers.

Hi. Totally agree, not the best stuff he ever wrote, but I was so taken with the recording of the master playing HIS works on HIS organ, I just could not resist it:-)
