One can only marvel at the creative gift of Johann Sebastian Bach. Here we have 70 minutes of wonderful music and yet there is so much more that could have been included. The opener is the glorious “Toccata & Fugue In D Minor” and the quality hardly lessens afterwards, with Bach's full compositional range being demonstrated, including the awesome “Fantasia & Fugue In G Minor”. Terence Charlston plays the organs of Douai Abbey supremely well and those who have a serious interest in this branch of music will read the copious notes with profit and pleasure. And I fully expect that many top organists will be on their way to sit on the same stools. If they can persuade Lance Andrews to record them perhaps the results will be as satisfying as this recital.
