Bach at it's bestAs a former organist and lifelong Bach fanatic this compilation of some of Bach's best known works is simply as good as it gets. Peter Hurford, nearing perfection at the "Queen of Instruments", puts the five organs from around the world through their paces like nobody's business. Bach himself would have been proud of Hurford's interpretation. Master Composer meets Master Performer - a must have for every organ lover.

Lots of Bach organ.This album has a lot of music for the money. The recording quality is excellent, but I find that the playing of Peter Hurford, while clean, does not carry the rhythm and soul of some other recordings of this material by others. The music seems more stacato and less flowing than other renditions such as by E. Power Biggs.
