    In summer 2011 as part of the festival we were lucky enough to hear Gustav Leonhardt play what turned out to be his last ever UK concert, at a church in Pimlico. He died just a few months later in January 2012. What struck me most was that as encores he played some 'easy' Bach pieces from the Anna Magdalena Notebook that I would guess half the audience must have learned as children, beforehand talking about how characteristic in various ways these pieces were of the master and what a wonderful gateway. He was 'only' 83 at the time but looked almost unchanged from the recordings he made in his 50s back in the 1970s and didn't look frail in any sense. His death was a shock and a huge loss.

    Will look up the Handel

    Delightfully laidback Bach performances.
    Just right for the end of a tiring day.
    Very non-HIP.

    I have been auditioning a pair of speaker at home and thought a bit of Organ music would give them a good work out, plus I like some now and then.

    This is a cracking boxed 6 LP set of recordings, which I was very fortunate to pick for £2 in a charity shop. If you see a good one don't hesitate.

    J. S. Bach*, Peter Hurford ‎– The Organ Works (Volume 1 and Volume 3)(even though is says Volume 1 on box
    Label:Argo (2) ‎– D120D 3
    Format:3 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo
    Country:UK

    LP 1
    Tracklist
    A1 Fantasia In G Major BWV 572
    A2 Wer Nur Den Lieben Gott Lasst Walten BWV 690
    A3 Wer Nur Den Lieben Gott Lasst Walten BWV 691
    A4 Ach Gott Und Herr BWV 692
    A5 Ach Gott Und Herr BWV 693
    A6 Wo Soll Ich Fliehen Hin? BWV 694
    A7 Christ Lag In Todesbanden BWV 695
