Jean Gilleau-Pipe Organs?

Has anybody ever heard of Jean Gilleau 'Pictures at the Exhibition'? I recently went to a Legacy show and requested some pipe organ music to see what the Whispers could do. They played this song that stunned me. I could feel it like a kick in the gut, and I liked it. I asked them what it was and they said "Jean Gilleau-'Pictures at the Exhibition'". I've looked everywhere for this with no luck. It's the perfect tune to test a systems lows. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. PS: I thought the Whispers were awesome, if only I could find some speakers that could do that for 2 grand or under.

I bought it at Tower Records about a year ago. As far as overall musicality of it though, I think it is horrible to listen to the entire peice on an organ. It does go way down. If it is purely for testing purposes, you have my recommendation, but for any other reasons, I do not see that it is worth the effort. Dorian - DOR-90117 Pictures at an Exhibition - Jean Guillou

The transcription has it's merits though not comparable to how much richer a full orchestra is. Definitely you need full ranges and power or at least a good sub well integrated with your monitors. Check following address interesting suggestions. http://powernet.at/earlym-l/other.lists/piporg-l/PIPORG-L.LOG9501E regards
