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.
