ejp626 Posted May 25 Report Posted May 25 Am back from day 1 of the Toronto Bach Festival where they did mostly Bach (and snuck in a Vivaldi piece), including Brandenburg Concerto #3. Great performances in a fairly intimate space. Tomorrow there is a noontime all-organ performance at St. Andrew's. And yes, Toccata and Fugue in D minor is on the program. I'm not sure I've ever heard it live on a church organ before. (It is played as part of Powell and Pressburger's A Canterbury Tale, which I just saw about a week ago, but I feel confident hearing it in person will be more inspiring...) Quote
