Not quite the old vinyl

John Warren Ross | Cincinnati, OH | 08/03/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The last time I heard Rheinberger's great Organ Concerti was from an old vinyl record of E. Power Biggs at the console with Georges Prêtre conducting. Absolutely beautiful! I knew that Spang-Hassen and Bostock had their work cut out for them to approach, much less equal the old recording. But surprise, surprise! Once I got over the differences between the two albums (and there are differences; thankfully these are artists, not machines), Rheinberger's wonderful music unfolded in the most captivating way. Hey, this is wonderful listening, and to be recommended to all organ afficionados! But guess what? The vinyl recording is better!!"
