Last fall (2001) I went on a tour with the talented danish choir "Cæciliekoret" in Italy. Among other places, we visited Assisi - a beautiful historical city - and performed a concert in [Old church in Assisi, I really can't remember the exact name of, will find out soon ]. There, I played J.S.Bach's Toccata & Fuga in d-minor. There was no time for any rehearsal, so it's a little rough but very intense. You can hear the result for yourself if you click on this link: [URL Removed*]Toccata & Fuga (MP3)[/url]. Tell me what you think.
The organ had two manuals, pedal and about 15 stops with pneumatic action. The general condition was not good but still it had some nice individual voices (especially the flutes).
(note: the recording was made by one of the audience, with a consumer minidisc recorder and a small microphone attached. The sound quality is low, but you can hear the music, and that's what matters the most in this case)
EDIT: I have decided to remove the direct URL to the MP3 in this thread, but if you have interest in downloading and listening to the recording please contact me and I will send you a download link. However, you can still download my 1993 live radio broadcast of Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D-minor (BWV 565) from Riga Cathedral.
