In Reply to: Besides the French composers, who else does pipe organ music well? posted by vacuous on May 17, 2007 at 15:00:25:
Like the others who posted on the topic I love organ music. Sadly however not all are well recorded and some really sound like a dirge. Not surprising with 2 second echoes - where on earth would ever be the best position for mics?I have one gimmicky MC SACD with different organs coming from different speakers - YUK!!!!
