There are squillions of them.  With Bach alone, most of his organ works have been transcribed multiple times.  If you look on the "transcriptions" tab of any of them on IMSLP you'll find an extensive list.  Busoni is my pick of the transcribers - he actually wrote a treatise on the subject - but Liszt, Reger, Tausig and many others are also pretty damn good.

The three Franck Chorals were transcribed by Blanche Selva--scores are available on IMSLP.
