While I still prefer my Munch-Biggs recording, I have the Linn issue.
It is a gem. Gillian Weir is one of the masters of the instrument.
Also, on the subject of organ and orchestra...the Cedille issue of the
Barber...great sound and it includes a previously unrecorded organ and
orchestra work by Sowerby and the Piston Prelude and Allegro.
Alas, Sowerby's C major concerto for organ and orchestra remains unrecorded.
