Customer Review: I have had this collection for about 3 years, and keep it in my office so I listen to it while I work...a lot. I listen to other stuff too, but often the Bach is what's spinning on my CD player. I have listened to every CD in the collection at least 3 times (I know because when I first got it I... more info
Customer Review: Just finished listening to the disc and very pleased - lots of light and airy works some towards the end are very *soft* with surprising CRESENDOS at the end to wake u up! Another super disc to add to the andsnes collection !
Customer Review: As a three year old, I listened to this LP album endlessly. It helped me develop a life long interest in organ music and organ building. The Riverside Church Aeolian-Skinner's sound and depth is one which I have instinctively compared most other organs to this day. Fox's charisma, style,... more info
Customer Review: This is a wonderful CD. The Salisbury Organ is in the very capable hands of Organist, Michael Murray. Not only does the CD demonstrate for us the great qualities of the Tuba Mirabilis and 32' Ophicleide, but also the soft string sounds of the organ. A definite must buy!

His most famous are The Handel Variations Opus 24, and the difficult Paganini Variations in which he shadowed the style of Liszt. Today this work is often compared with Bach's Goldberg and... more info

The Pre-Raphaelite erotic cover art is beautiful: sunflowers were the first emblem of the English Aesthetic movement--until later replacement by Wilde's green carnation. Indeed, Wilde was accused in his Oxford days of having walked down Picadilly with a sunflower in his "midaeval... more info
Customer Review: This is by far the best recording of an organ I have heard. Credit is due to four virtuosi: the organist, David Higgs, of course... but also the designer of the fabulous Fisk tracker, and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, the architects of Dallas's Morton H. Meyerson Hall; and finally, but not least,... more info
