Eschenbach/Philadelphia all organ SACD - new demo disc

Not to sound too much like a shill for the Philadelphia Orchestra, but their latest SACD raises the bar for organ recordings. Polyhymnia has done a remarkable job capture the 7000 piped instrument's sound.

The balance between organ and orchestra is also pretty much perfect, so Barber's "Toccata Festiva" and the Saint-Saens are quite spectacular sounding.

Eschenbach's extreme slow and fast tempos, though, will earn him some enemies.
