I agree with Mr Harvey. No way is this 'complete'. Also, one of the greatest works, the Prelude & Fugue in A minor, BWV 543, is missing. Yet this work was performed in one of the TV programmes and I recorded it. I was very surprised it didn't feature in the 'complete works'. Very strange.

The off shore purveyors of these so called "Complete Organ Works" should be charged with criminal deception under s.16 of the Theft Act.
That is what it promises on the front cover, "complete" while as a matter of fact "complete" it most definitely what it is not.
Before you buy the first volume, check how many of the works it actually provides, because the list that appears on the inside of the cover is not a list of what those two discs actually contain.

Brilliant. I enjoy and adore his footworks and relaxed organ playing. Pasgalia - and the others on the DVD were execptional. His well selection of registers. I am watching the DVD every day.
Keep it up John. You are an inspiration.
