Jeff-

Thanks for posting that - it is a truly magnificent performance, probably the best rendition/interpretation that I have heard!

For those of you who might be wondering or skeptical about the clip, it is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor played on a church organ. I most vividly recall hearing the Toccata as a meaningful part of the soundtrack of the original 1975 Rollerball movie starring James Caan.

The kid's pretty good, eh? 8)

We watched/listened to Michael Murray perform it at the First Congregational Church in Los Angeles in the late 1980s. A truly magnificent organ installation. :D
