Carl Weinrich  at the organ of Vårfrukyrkan in Skänninge, Sweden

EMI  Music for Pleasure  MFP 2111
1969 LP/matrices: WST14043A -1G / WST14043B -3G. Recorded: June/July 1956. No Auto de-click + 30hz filter. Somewhat prosaic; but BWV.533 is good & BWV.582 superior to Germani (1959). Sleeve-note / EMG + Hi-Fi News reviews >>>  Possibly not of much interest (but the Organ is nice..)

  1. "Andrew": Yes - BVW.582 gets a livelier performance than Germani's RFH.
    Had to put a bass filter in; there being a pronounced 'life-on-the ocean-wave' surface effect that interfered with the low-range (there's a 'full-blown' 32Hz signal). But a case where it would've been better as a 24-bit instead of CD-RW - as did notice some lessening of realism.
