Corno Dolce,

Wow !!! Yes.

Thank you.

That marvellous Passacaglia ! This is great. Thank you again.

And what of this ? It's outrageous, wonderful, innocent, pure, great. The American Virgil Fox (1912-1980), organist, showman and great musical genius.

Thank you Robert and CD, for sharing those wonderful videos. Who could not like Bach?

Here is the great David Oistrakh, playing Bach Violin Concerto in A minor (1st mvt.). I love it, it only makes me want to listen to more.

Ah, thank you Robert. I am listening to it now.


Margaret

[Robert Newman]

Marvellous isn't it Margaret. What a phenomenal gift to the world.

[Corno Dolce]

Aloha Mr. Newman,

It was the interpretive genius of Virgil Fox who got me interested in wanting to play the organ. Thanx for sharing all those vids with us.

Cheerio,

CD

[Robert Newman]

Hi there Corno Dolce,

I first heard Virgil Fox almost 20 years ago on a vinyl recording. He did as much for the appreciation of this music as anyone, it seems. Let the 'purists' criticise him if they like.

I'll post his famous (1963) recording of the Passacaglia soon.

Regards

Robert
