To those who added replys, they were warmly received. Not to be redundant, pipe organs are GREAT.

I have some CBS recordings of E. Power Biggs, and I seem to recall somewhat vaguely a photo of the Methuen organ somewhere.

My biggest gripe with the classical music recordings available today is the very slow progression of updating the old analog recordings to modern digital (all digital, not analog remastered.)

One can argue vociferously about the merits or lack of in this respect, but the changes available wrt dynamic range, overall noise reduction and lack of "user wear" are definite plusses.

Last year I found Arron Copeland's organ symphony had been released on cd and it was worth waiting for. So many LPs to update, my Beetoven, Mahler, Shoshtakovich, & Vaugh-Williams symphonies are well under way.

The next biggest gripe is that I feel home audio and the enjoyment of music for a great many people is no longer what it was. I-podz and the ilk have converted the enjoyment of music to continuous background noise of stuff I wouldn't touch with someone else's 10ft pole. Hope no one is offended.
