Thanks to all for you helpful recommendations. I appreciate it.
Bach organ recordings
The Milwaukee Symphony has been sponsoring a series performances around the area in honor of Bach's birthday. I attended two organ recitals that were just fantastic. I don't have any recordings of Bach's organ music and would like to get some. Can anyone recommend some good performances that are also recorded well?
With much gratitude.

I concur with this recommendation...She is the best i listened to and i vow a cult to Bach... It sound with my headphone as if i was in the church... ( my headphone are TOP ) There is few others recordings of her but this erato is the best for me...

Marie Claire Alain complete bach organ works on Erato with picture of organ pipes on the cover.
She did three different versions, I bough this one copyright 1986 add and it is very good another is all digital which I have streamed and it is good too. There is another analogue recorded version which I have not heard. |
If you're into LP-Bach series of Marcel Dupre @ Eglise St. Sulpice-France 1960/Mercury label. I have volume 1& 2. E Power Biggs -Bach Favorites 1961 Columbia Masterworks Sonically not as good as Dupre on Mercury, but still enjoyable Beautiful music and a real test for any turntable(speed stability)and setup.
