Organ virtuoso

[Herve]

My awakening to classical music was listening to my Mother's piano performance of it.

The classical music that piqued my interest so much that it made me want to play the keyboard, was an organ composition by Bach - specifically, an E. Power Biggs recording of the Fuge in G, otherwise known as the Gigue Fuge, or simply The Jig.

At the age of 23, this Bach fugue literally compelled me to sit down at a keyboard to learn to play.

For those who have never heard it, here is a fantastic recording of it on Youtube.  It is performed by Don Muro, who is playing what I presume is a custom-made organ synthesizer.  This instrument allows a very good view of Mr. Muro's pedal-board technique for what is still to me the ultimate example of Baroque-organ ecstasy.

Thanks for this!  And a breath of fresh air badly needed here, I'd like to add.
