 I like Bach organ music. Today, I went into the Center and got a 2-CD compilation "Famous Organ Works" in german from DG, recorded from 1959-1971. As i sit here listening to it, it is quite good. Involving, it is.

Anyone own the 12CD "Organ Works"?

Anyone listened to all 12 in one sitting? I near the end of CD2 of this small collection, and i want more

I'd say you stumbled upon the best of the Bach organists. nt, posted on November 2, 2009 at 18:53:14

 She's a great supporter of my audio habit on the equipment side, but since i became interested in classical music, all she seems to like is Mozart concertos of various sorts. Of Bruckner's 7th, after looking out the window through the fog at the rain beating down on the street, she said, "It's bad enough with the rain and the fog...."

A critic?

 I own the Walcha complete Bach orgelverke.... Really good stuff indeed. If you can find it, get it.... Another great set is the Marie Claire Alain complete works for organ.
