Very nice to listen to, which organ am I looking at 1:36?

[Michel Héroux]

At 1:36, it is the organ of the St-Bertrand-de-Comminges Cathedral (in the Haute Garonne area in France).

[Michel Héroux]

Many thanks. The sound is indeed quite marvelous on this LP that contains the four great toccatas of J.S. Bach. And E. Power Biggs was an outstanding organist.

[Aphidboy]

Me, too. Exactly. So many of the "young" organists play Bach too darned fast. Biggs knew how to save his ammunition for the big moments by not turning the music into a horse race. Biggs' Bach has the power.

Is there a video of the Fugue available? I have the original quad LP and a CD version of this as well, but I can't legally share those with others. :-)

[Vladimir Wardell]

If only I could afford the electronics necessary to accurate reproduction :)

[ungadin]

I grew up with this album except we had it on reel to reel. I played it to death!!!! I still love this album. But you are correct. It is hard to find.

An interesting idea but doesn't quite work as an integral recording,,sounds like technicians employed twine an a beancan frankly,,,

This Album was released in SACD surround, but good luck trying to find it! (At least at a reasonable price)
