Years ago i first heard "Heavy Organ" and thought that was one of finest organ albums I had ever heard. To this day that album (which I previously reviewed on ths BLOG) remains one of y most beloved live albums in my collection.
That same year Virgil Fox released this ode to BACH album that features a number of studio tracks that do not appear on thelive at Winterland album!
Virgil had a very positive almost flamboyant approach to how he played BACH casting his music in very positive light. Virgil played BACH the way that I wanted to hear his music which is likely why I am so fond of his playing.
How can you beat BACH's Toccatas and Fugues? They are simply some of the best pieces of music possibly ever written......BACH was a genius.
Virgil Fox plays BACH on the organ like no other and this album is a pure delight to spin time and time again.
