Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Organ and Chimes
Certainly one of the most unique Christmas Carols record released from the Mormon Tabernacle. What is here is organ and chimes, not tubular ones but from the chimes rank within the massive Tabernacle Organ playing reverential renditions of all the favorite carols. This recording was transferred from a stereo reel tape.

Recorded in the late 1960's and released on a Dutch pressing,
Klaas Bolt plays a Bach Organ Concert which includes less familiar
music of "The Master". The 18th
century Müller Pipe Organ in this Dutch church ranks as one of
the very best in The Netherlands. The sound is very
good.

There were two LPs issued from the Freiburg Cathedral with E., Power Biggs playing all four organs simultaneously. The first one with Bach Organ works has been available for some time on CD. This LP has not until now. It is a unique collection of short works Biggs recorded earlier within "The Art of the Organ" and the Famous Organs in Europe series also available in teh Haydn House Organ Loft Collection. The effect of all this music being played with four organs is truly spectacular. This is a must for all Biggs fans. Listen!

This recording has always fascinated us since it was released. Columbia put aside the Biggs projects somewhat and went Utah to record the massive 11,000 pipe Mormon Tabernacle Organ for a program of rather esoteric organ music The Vierne Maestoso was used often for radio spots as the Mozart Requiem and O Fortuna are used today on TV. This is truly a wonderful stereo recording.

This transfer to CD features some of the earlier and rare recordings of Bach Organ Music with E. Power Biggs. It precedes his Bach Royal Instrument Series recordings in Symphony Hall, Boston, neither duplicating any of those great recordings of a year or so later also available on page 3 of the Organ Loft catalog. The Columbia LP source number is LM 4097 but an unusual and better blue label pressing from Canada than any of the same that was sold in the US. This pressing has better surfaces and no muddied bass which plagued those early US versions thereby making this "labor of love" transfer much more easy and features tow of Bach's greatest organ works, the "St. Anne" and the Great Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor. Don't let this Biggs CD pass you by!

$12.00 per CD
Thanks to another intense organ music collector who has kept his LP's in mint condition, this incredible LP has come our way. Unique here is that the transfer to CD was carefully made sealed LP! The source, know especially for its full-bodied recording efforts, has produced a recording with incredible dynamic range and quiet LP surfaces requiring little "tinkering" in order to produce a noise-free transfer. The low end pipes demand a subwoofer to reproduce the clean distortion free bass of the Westminster Abbey Organ etched on this LP. Preston need not be left out here as he gives his all with this organ music, performances considered to be at the very top. If you are not familiar with either Reubke or Reger, this CD will be you best introduction to their organ music.
