You really need a good pair of speakers to make this sound truly out of this world!!!


YouTube - Toccata and Fugue - Bach


This version is out of this world played by Frederik Magle on The Walcker Organ in Riga Cathedral.
Pls check the link below, its got pics & lots of details about this fine Instrument....
One day I Wish to see it being played in person....

The Walcker Organ in Riga Cathedral - Magle International Music Forums

hi denom - i will tell you in one hour or so if my speakers cut the ice with the (downloaded) mp3 version

EDIT - UPDATE AFTER ONE HOUR -

hell - denom - i do not know if i like this kind of music - probably a cultivated taste

Been listening to Bach for something like two decades.Have heard his organ music being played live in a church in Helsinki.Bach for me is God.With Mozart and Beethoven at His side.Ultimately all other genres of Western music and that includes Jazz which I listen to a lot:sad: are merely NOISE.I have just bought a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Grand.In my very limited experience with good hi-fi equipment this is the first speaker with which I am finding my CD's of Bach,Mozart,Schubert,Beethoven,Mahler,Handel,Chopin sound absolutely stunning.Late night I usually play Bach's organ works fairly loud.My neighbors whose idea of music is probably a rousing satsang must be wondering whats going on....

Ajay,
Have been brought up listening to all kinds of music,
Somehow after watching the movie '20 thousand leagues under the sea' when i was about 12odd years old, Bach's Tocata had a profound effect on me & ever since have listened to many rendiitons of it but found Frederik Magle's attempt as the best, maybe more so due to the Riga Cathedral Organ used, which is a masterpiece.

That being said, Metal & its various genres are my main source of musical pleasure :D
