I had a listen to that Dupre - Franck - Widor recording. Lots of wonderful music, sure got my subwoofer working.
I'm not a big fan of Dupre, maybe a couple pieces..., but, Franck, Widor and Vierne are my favorite
French Masters !

I grew up in the 1960's and am NOT into pop culture but is anyone else old enough to remember this famous album with its iconic cover? From memory this was the album that knocked the Beatles off the number one spot on the charts.

I've heard mixed reviews about the

That Liszt by Szathmary isn't on Qobuz or YouTube Music. Looks like one of those really old EMI Germany releases from the 1980's.

Yup. I found it in an obscure CD shop, in a nearby town, in the early 90's, I think.

This is worth a listen!
Macy's Department Store, originally John Wanamaker's Department Store, in Philadelphia, which houses one of the largest playable and historically significant instruments on earth, officially closed it's doors for good on March 23, 2025.
This is the final concert from March 22, 2025, 5PM.
The final selection by Bach, Komm, Susser Tod, (
Come, Sweetest Death ), had me in tears!
