5.0 out of 5 stars What a fabulous CD!, November 3, 2000

This review is from: Weekend Classics: Organ Favourites (Audio CD)

The moment I first listened to this CD, I was hooked. The precision that Preston uses in performance is unrivaled, and you of course can't beat the price! I was very impressed. Definetely worth the investment!

Although the performance is very good, the recording is defective. We received two copies, both of which had blank segments in the middle of selections, including Widor's Toccata and Fugue. Buy another label!
