5.0 out of 5 stars Bach at it's best, July 11, 2000
By Carsten Moenkemoeller (Bielefeld/Germany, now CT, USA) - See all my reviews
As 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've Ever Heard, July 3, 2002
By Andrew Agave "Andrew A." (Melrose, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am an organist myself, and I must say that Peter Hurford is the number one master of playing the organ. It sounds as if he has become the organ and creates outstanding music that will give you very intense emotions that you have never felt before. His omnipotent playing abilities are unreal. This is one CD no one, not even the average person, would send back for a refund. You do not have to be a music lover to enjoy Bach's almighty works. This is a very good deal; 2 CDs for less than the price of one new-release CD at a store.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great recording of the Bach organ masterpieces, July 7, 1999
By A Customer
Peter Hurford, one of the great organists around, has produced a great recording of the great organ masterpieces of one of the greatest organ composers ever! In this recording you have almost all of the most famous Bach works. I was quite impressed with the quality of his playing, and his interpretation and style is very good! This is a great recording for the "light" Bach lover to the serious Bach lover!
