4.0 out of 5 stars Bach for a new generation, December 29, 1999

This is a great CD! I first bought a copy when I was 20 years old, and fell in love with it. Although not a classical music listener, I really enjoy the way Don expresses these classics. He made me realize just how complex Bach's music really is.

And for you high end car audiophiles out there...This CD has the lowest bass ever put on CD. It goes down to 4hz, so don't blow your speakers! Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Then, and now., October 27, 2003

I purchased this album on (gasp!) cassette tape in the early 90's and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thinking it could get no better, I never put forth the effort to pick up the CD. That is until fate intervened on day at a garage sale. Both albums in new condition on CD for a buck each. How could I say no? Oh, my! I can't describe how wonderful Don's works sound in pristine digital audio. It sounded so good in the car that I went home, threw the disc into my system, and promptly smoked the voice coil on my sub. Wow! The clarity, fidelity, and dynamic range are just incredible, and Don's interpretations are just plain fun. From the thundering "Toccata and Fugue" on Bachbusters to the frenzied "Rage over a Lost Penny" on Beethoven or Bust, Don absolutely nails it.

Strict classical music snobs need not apply, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all those who enjoy something a little different every now and then!

Anyone who appreciates the music of J.S. Bach will love this CD. Dorsey is truly a master of keyboard instruments, not to mention synthesized music. I've been scowering the Internet for quite a while in search of other computerized Bach renditions, mostly in vain. But there is an album called CYBACH on MP3.com which I would highly recommend. It focuses mostly on organ works, though. My hat goes off to Don Dorsey! Please, keep it up!
