I am listening to a recording of Widor's 5th and 10th Organ Symphonies
which I have had for years, and is suddenly struck by the high technical
quality, including a deep full bass which is not always achieved on other
recordings. I can really recommend it if it is still to be found. Hearing
the famous toccata in the context of the whole work adds to the pleasure.
I would have liked a bit more speed, but in the toccata he is fine (5:
08). It is on Arte Nova 74321 79587 2, with Christian von Blohn on the
organ of the Hildegardskirche St. Ingbert. I bought it for the equivalent
of $7.
