Customer Reviews

What a mess....1
I can't understand how this set of CDs got so many rave reviews. Peter Hurford is a very sloppy organist. He misses notes all over the place, has very messy rhythms, and a very non-baroque interpretation of Bach's music. It makes me wonder if some of the other reviewers who "play organ" have only had a few lessons, but little or no formal music training. This set of discs was so disappointing and annoying that I actually threw them away. If you want to listen to great organ music, try some Michael Murray.

organ works by bach5
excellent. unforgettable works by one of the masters, the grand organs have their own place in time mostly heard in church surroundings. this brings it home.cigar, brandy, toccata and fugue d minor, heaven.

Hurford plays very musically5
Peter Hurford is a wonderul musician.. his interpretations of this music are musical.. (esp. with the St. Anne Fugue where each of the three variations are connected with beatiful transitions..)
A wonderful recording.. in an era where everything has to be perfect,
it's nice to hear an artist take some risk and give us their own
personal, unique, and original interpretations.
