They are 2 completely different Organs.... I have listened to both now again, many times today... The 1993 Recording (Age 16) is in my opinion,the better one... ONLY in the context of a Young Man playing a Huge instrument and giving such a brilliant Performance of a "Much Played & Much Criticized Bach Piece"... Then on Top of it.!!!!!!!!!! You have to Give Credit to the 2001 Recording,because it shows the Brilliant work done on a "smaller Instrument".

There is a Big difference to an Organ with approx. 120 Stops & to an Organ with only 15 Speaking Stops.....I understand what Commodore Corno is getting at.!!!!!!......BUT.....Look at it this way......
16 yrs of age = 120 stops & 4 Manuals (A Big Ask for that age...BUT an Organ more than Capable etc.)
24 yrs of age = 15 stops & 2 Manuals (A Big Ask for that Organ...BUT with a more experienced "Magle" who has used his skills & made it sound Larger/Fuller.)

YES.!!!! You can hear the 2 very different interpretations, but again in "My Opinion".,it is MORE to do with The ORGANS....."The Special Magle Style of Playing" (16yrs & 24yrs) can be heard on Both. Hope that makes SOME Sense.....
All in All...

to the BOTH...and that gets me out of Trouble....hehehehehe

Cheers
