The Uncommon Bach: Variants, Rarities, and Transcription
George Ritchie and Joan Lippincott, organ
Fritts-Richards organ of St. Alphonsus Parish, Seattle, WA

This out-of-print recording has recently become available once again. State of the art recording technology, superb acoustics, a landmark organ and two American titans of Bach organ performance tackle an unusual repertoire. You may think you know these works, but these versions are different – sometimes significantly different– from the versions most often recorded. A delightful recording that is well done in every aspect.
