Yup.  Hadn't gotten around to posting opinions.  I'm not that
discriminating an organ music connoisseur (yet) to give an informed
opinion, but I sure liked the "Scales from Weimar" CD (volume 91) very
much.  Except this volume features Martin Lu:cker instead of Johannsen.

Johanssen plays on the "Masterpieces from the Weimar Period" (volume 93).
Included are BWV 542, 727, 706, 534, 768 & 532.  Good stuff.  Again, the
"sound" seems to be the most cohesive thing about the whole set so far.

Sorry, still haven't gotten to the Cantatas.

I see many years of debt in the making.  Those darn conservatories sure
do charge a lot of dough.  I'm betting my life (literally) that it'll be
worth it.  Big downside: no more promos...gonna have to go to the Tower
like everybody else.
