Virgil Fox was a magnificent organist in romantic music that Biggs rarely recorded., e.g. Widor's Toccata from Symphonie #5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8iYJH2dsB4
Compare the leaden Biggs performance:

On the other hand, Biggs played Bach in a less romanticized fashion that is closer to what most "historically informed" performers today are doing, but with less rhythmic flexibility and improvised ornamentation. Fox's Bach, in contrast, is closer to romantic performances styles, leaving it way out of fashion. But he can be pretty exciting:
