I've got boatloads of non-classical organ music. I've never been able to connect with classical organ.
Than recently I heard a fellow named E. Power Biggs play some Bach and I saw the light. (Heard it, actually.)
So far, that's hands-down the best classical organist I've ever heard ... not muddy, not overdone, not over-intellectualized (are you reading this, Felix Hell?).
But I have no way of knowing where to go from here. I find no "top 10" lists of great classical organ CDs on the internet. I don't know who the other big boys are.
If, say, I were to buy only two or three classical organ albums ... other than E. Power Biggs ... can anyone steer me to what those must-have desert-island CDs would be?
