Before I start calling around for catalog searches, I wonder if
anyone here knows the status of these recordings. Virgil Fox made
two live recordings "Heavy Organ: Bach live at Fillmore East" and
a second in the 'Heavy Organ' series (the title escapes me) which
was recorded at Winterland. Both recordings were on MCA. Both were
formerly released on DECCA. I'd like to know if these (for that
matter ANY of Virgil Fox's recordings) are out in CD. The live
recordings won't win any awards for high fidelity, but the performances
are perhaps the most energetic live performances of Bach ever recorded.

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor
Perpetum Mobile for pedals only (arr. Mittleschulte)
Nun danket alle Gott (Now thank we all our God. arr. Fox)
and more

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
Gigue Fugue
Air for G string (arr. Fox)
Thanks,

RE: .0 I agree about the live "Heavy Organ" performances. I was at the Hartford, CT. performance and it is one of my fondest musical memories. I am very disappointed by the albums, though. First off, the sound quality is poor. That I could live with (after all, it's a rock-concert-style live recording). What bothers me is that the music's been butchered. They cut pieces out here and there to make it fit on an album. The development section is missing from the D-major Prelude, and the whole Prelude of the A-minor Prelude and Fugue is missing. --PSW | |||||
