This review is from: Pachelbel: Complete Organ Works, Vol.9 (Audio CD)

This series of ten discs (of which this is the ninth) has been consistently enjoyable, without being compulsive. There is lovely music here, - Pachelbel couldn't have written an un-musical note if he had tried to - but nothing which approaches the F minor chaconne or the aria sebaldina (on earlier discs) in terms of quality. The recording is lovely, though we do get a lot of organ "air", and music rarely comes out of silence, so at first hearing you may think you're getting tape hiss (dont worry, you'll soon adjust). More significantly as a criticism (though I certainly dont profess to be an organ expert), I find the organ itself just a bit too grainy, - too french as another amazon reviewer has put it, - and would have preferred a slightly more metallic - or is that more germanic? - baroque organ. Notwithstanding those criticisms, a pleasantly rewarding listen, - but get the earlier volume with the Chaconne first.
