    Marie-Claire Alain plays Bach?

    I am looking for a spesific documentary that was made approx. 1990 (directed by Bruno Monsaingeon). The title was "Orgues,Toccates et Fantaisies; Marie-Claire Alain joue Johann Sebastian Bach". Does anybody know, if this splendid documentary is available on DVD ? I have tried to search so many places with no luck.

    There is a Marie-Claire Alain CD with Bach's Toccatas and Fugues, the Clavierbuchlein and some chorales

    She is reputed to have recorded Bach's "everything" three or four times. She must spend most of her time making recordings!! And by now she's got to be well into her 80's. But have no fear - another French organist or two held on that long, too.

    There even seems to be some discussion over whether she or Diane Bish is the "first lady of the organ"!! Anyone care to debate that one?
