A Good Demonsration Disc for DVD-Audio Systems

This recital of familiar Bach organ works performed by Ton Koopman is a very good one he mixes favorites like the Toccata & Fugue and the Passacaglia & Fugue with lesser known chorale preludes I feel that Mr. Koopman uses some good taste and imagination in his choices of registration and ornamentation. Or in other words he doesn’t get carried away with playing these works, he lets the music speak for itself. This recital comes from an excellent set of recordings on the Teldec label which seems to be leading the way in DVD-Audio releases. Since I’m only playing this disc on a DVD-Video player I cannot comment on some of the added features on the disc, I can say that this is a good recital performed on the Muller Organ in the Grote Kerk Leeuwarden which sounds like a perfect organ for these works. Here’s hoping for more!
