In Reply to: Well then, please recommend a great recording of Bach's organ works. posted by vacuous on May 17, 2007 at 22:53:54:
Preston on DG and Herrick on Hyperion. One or the other should be on your shelf. Both are very well recorded and contain highly polished performances. Herrick imparts a little more "color and texture" than Preston, IMO and, as a result, is my favorite of the two. To sample some "old school" Bach on interesting instruments or in more idiosyncratic interpretations, you may wish to supplement with some CDs of Karl Richter or Helmut Walcha.Finally, if you REALLY want to go bachlistic and lock yourself up in a temple of attention and sound, I'd like to recommend the book "The Organ Music of J.S. Bach" by Peter Williams (ISBN 0521891159, Cambridge University Press). More than you'll ever need unless you are a professional musician performing these works.
