"....WOW is all I can say. I started with CD #9 and the first trio sounded strange, as if some of the organ tube's was mistuned or Rogg had smoked a huge joint, but after the first movement.... the organ filled my room, tons of air moving around, passing thru the tubes, the pedal notes went low, deep and airy at the same time. Great recording and performance......"You are sooo right my good sir. I'm not a big fan of digital playback, but much to my delight, I find the Organ, piano, harpsichord, Lute, & clasical guitar......all digitally played by the way......to be well served on a good digital front end. Thank God, can you imagine what a collection like this on vinyl in Near Mint condition would cost!! I'd really be "up the creek" with my Sviatoslav Richter collection if I wasn't open to digital playback. Just picked up a 17 CD box set of Richter "Live in Kiev" from TNC music for $115 which included the shipping!!
Someone mentioned that odd sound on CD# 9 in a review I read at Amazon.com, but I haven't had the time to listen to all 12 CD's. I just love the music & the performance....we're talking low frequency information big time! Such a deal for $65 or $70. You can't beat it.
By the way, I just uploaded another page on my site (page 29!)which includes some great organ recordings of both JS Bach & Buxtehude performed by E Power Biggs and Walter Craft.
Take Care & don't try to listen to all 14 hours of your new collection all at once!!
