Marc, A really fine perfomance of the BWV 546. Thank you again. So many of the Organs in the Netherlands sound so wonderful.

Hi Marc,
That bad, eh? Yeah, I've given many a Bachphile a serious case of Dyspepsia when mentioning Guillou. When I was younger I had made many a pilgrimage to hear and play the organ of Groote Kerk in Haarlem. Bach does sound nice on that instrument - Then, as I got older I didn't wish to limit myself to the Dutch or North Germanic School of organ building. So, upon being exposed to the C-C at St. Sulpice by Maitre Grunenwald and was given 3 hours on it one evening after the main doors were shut - Well, lets just say that I was "changed". JSBach just sounded so grand on such an instrument.

*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."
