The late E. Power Biggs' recording of the 4 "Great" Toccatas & Fugues (brilliantly recorded on analog equipment in a church in Germany on a "vintage" organ with pipes placed in various locations throughout the church for an amazing "surround sound" effect) is the definitive treatment of these pieces. NO ONE has ever touched it - either before or since - for conveying the majesty of Bach's greatest works. Biggs' virtuosity and the passion of his playing is scary and thrilling.

If you like organ music, you have to find a way to listen to this - even if you don't buy it. Convince your local library to get a copy! Probably not as good as being in the Cathedral but rich, powerful and E. Power Biggs.
