Top-rate Organ recording........2006-04-17

This is by far the best recording of an organ I have heard. Credit is due to four virtuosi: the organist, David Higgs, of course... but also the designer of the fabulous Fisk tracker, and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, the architects of Dallas's Morton H. Meyerson Hall; and finally, but not least, the genius of the recordists in using (if I remember the notes correctly) only two microphones. All four components got it right - a feat that is rarely accomplished.

All the tracks are simply superb. Best of them all, however, is Track 9, The Primitives, from Calvin Hampton's suite of Five Dances. It is a scintillating masterpiece with a strong 16' reed component that revolves like a string of DNA -- and shows off in integrated perfection, the organist, instrument, hall and recording. It is a daring piece that could draw attention to and exaggerate flaws in the acoustics, but there are none.

Absolutely recommended.

You can't go wrong.......2005-10-07

The combination of instrument, music, and player is outstanding. This recording will give you hours of pleasure. I recommend it heartily!
