Complete Works for Organ by Jehan Alain, played by Marie-Clair Alain

I hope it's good. The YouTube samples I found were very good, and I don't even recall how I got on to his work, but it grabbed me right away.
I'm looking for other organ works. What would you recommend? Pieces/performances?
My father was an organist (graduate of Lawrence University but I don't recall when--I think in the 50s). He passed away 23 years ago, when I was only 17. I am now finding myself craving organ music, though I believe he was of a more appreciator of the traditional tonal vein of music.
I already have the five-disc complete Messiaen works, but that's about it.
My father used to play the famous Widor toccata, and I had it played at my wedding as recessional music. I'm kind of an open book to organ music, so, looking for the best stuff.
I'm sorry to say he was a demonstrator/advocate for electronic organs (I believe it was Allen), which I think is probably a bit of blasphemy for the pipe organ aficionados here. C'est la vie.
