Wish List for Organ Music in your Church,
By B. Marold "Bruce W. Marold" (Bethlehem, PA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccatas and Fugues - Christopher Herrick, Organ (Audio CD)
'The Organ Toccatas and Passacaglia' by Johan Sebastian Bach, recorded by Hyperion, is exactly the kind of recording Hyperion does so well, as it involves but a single artist, Christopher Herrick and a reasonably easy technical setup to capture the sounds from the Metzler organ of the Stadtkirche in Zofingen, Switzerland. These pieces are just a small part of the reason why a very good Jewish friend of mine has said that 'You Christians have all the best music'.
One can listen to these and imagine they present a model for what, given the right organist and instrument, music can sound like in your church. As usual, for a few more pennies, you can't go wrong with Hyperion for single performer or small group performances.

Excellent powerful playing,

This review is from: Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccatas and Fugues - Christopher Herrick, Organ (Audio CD)
While E. Power Biggs may be the most recommendable choice for Bach's organ works, Christopher Herrick also playes with great virtuosity. Perhaps the best selection on this disk is the famous d minor Tocatta and Fugue which Herrick plays brilliantly. I would definitely recommend this CD to newcomers to Bach's organ music and to more experienced ones as well.
