I'm willing to create a brand new thread in The Pipe Organ Forum for you. Just tell me how should I name it. Unless you want to have the previous postings there as well - then you need to ask moderators for help.

Mat, thanks for the suggestion.
I sent the administrator a PM to ask him about the possibilities to move the entire thread.
Now, we have to wait and see. :)

If we're asked for a new name for the thread what about 'Organ Music of J.S. Bach' ?

I suggested 'Bach organ works'. Of course, J.S. Bach would be more specific. But now I created the opportunity to add remarks about the organ compositions of his sons, cousins, uncles and every other Bach, too. :)

re: Helmut Walcha.
You said you own a Walcha integral on CD, his second verture. This is the stereo box set, years 1959-1971?
Because, if you want to listen to a fine remastered version of his first mono set, maybe you'd be glad to know that there is a budget edition available:
http://www.amazon.com/Bach-J-S-Organ-Works-Germany/dp/B000E6UL6I

Though without a booklet with (detailed) information, I think it's worth every penny!

Marc,

I have now got the remastered version of Walcha's first (mono) set and how glad I am to have it! You are indeed right about it being a 'fine' version. I have a soft spot for those particular performances and recordings because they were the first Walcha ones I heard and a revelation to me when I did first hear them. I do prefer some of those recordings / performances on the Lubeck and Cappel Organs to all others.
Thanks again for leading me to the remasterings. Finally, I got them from Archivmusic.com at an even lower price than Amazon.com

Best wishes.

You're very welcome! Enjoy the listening (as you were already doing :)).

HI Marc -

Welcome!! I don't have much to add to the discussion about the organ, except this from my old boss at a radio station who played the organ at services every Sunday.

"Don't ever program 3 types of music on a classical station: harpsichord, opera, and the organ."

Why is that, listers? I have seen it happen - listeners drop off in DROVES whenever those 3 (and anything modern) plays on my station.

I hope you are all having a relaxing weekend!

Well, of course my favourite music is sheet music. :smirk:

Apart from that, I mostly listen to vocal, organ and harpsichord. :p
I never listen to the radio, because the radio seems to avoid these kinds of music, especially for the last decade or so.
Luckilly for all the broadcast stations there are millions of music lovers who haven't dropped off and still listen to the Music for the Millions every day. ;)
