I second that: his last commercial CD before retiring, recorded @St-Sulpice, is also one of his very best, imho.
And lets not forget Thomas Murray, great champion of American organs...

Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.
This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.
As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.
In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Yep, afraid so. He's now the assistant organist at St Mark's Episcopal Church in Columbus, Ohio. Look here under "Music Staff": http://www.stmarks-ua.org/staff.htm

It seems a bit odd that Diane Bish gets so little mention in these forums. True, she's nothing if not flamboyant, and I agree about her ambulance chasing tempi, but, as might be said of a certain Fox, you have to respect technical ability. I don't go for the idea that fast tempi necessarily mean 'better', because to me a lot of it is just showing off what they can do. But the fact remains, how many can out-do her?

Carlo Curley is cut very much from the same bolt as Fox or Bish, but of the three is the better musician, IMHO (let the flame war begin!
)

No flame wars, please? This Forum is a peaceful respite from the *Flame Forums* everywhere else...
Imo Daniel Roth, Olivier Latry, Paolo Oreni, and Paul Jacobs are tied for *Top-of-the-food-chain* in re to musician's musicians.
