    The word buzzbox made me chuckle.
    If some cathedral organist releases an album called " I've got a Buzzbox and I'm going to use it", i promise to buy it.

    ER knows what I am talking about !!

        Virtuoso Bach today.

        Prelude and Fugue in A Minor BWV 894.

        Some of the music from this appears again in the well known.....

        Concerto in A minor for harpsichord, flute, and violin,BWV 1044.

        All of which may not have been written by JSB.

                All those jangling triplets just make me think of Beecham's comment about skeletons on roofs. I suspect I would have liked the triple concerto version.

                        Last week's Prelude and Fugue in A minor I admired from afar - brilliant but unattainable. Yesterday's performances of the two part Inventions were brilliant too, particularly because they were played by young players. Short and testing. Lovely. I enjoyed them, particularly Nos 1 in C, 8 in F major, 13 in A minor and 14 in B flat major. No 15 in B minor was probably the best played of the bunch. I had not listened to them for a long time and they struck me again most pleasantly.

                          Wonderful 25 mins or so wasn't it Padraig.

                            I enjoyed this organ piece, Rob, and its presentation. Nice coincidence in her discussion of the Picardy Third.

                                The performance was superb wasn't it ?

                                I was puzzled by the mention of 'strange notes' towards the end of the Fugue in the description,I didn't hear any jarring dissonances.
                                The piece is nicknamed 'The Cathedral Prelude and Fugue' btw,I don't think this was mentioned on AoB
