Best Bach Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor


I am looking to find an audiophile recording of Bach's Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor. I have a few copies, but they either lack the LF oomph, or do not captue the range of pipe sounds. I want to be blown away!

Jcidulka I have a version on "The Classical Collection" a Musical Heritage Society release that I've had for years the catalog # is 532814L. This one should do the trick. Harold Britton playing the Organ at Royal Albert Hall.
There are many better versions, but for low bass oomph and colorful (and I do mean colorful) registrations, the Virgil Fox recording The Fox Touch, Vol. 1 (on direct to disc Crystal Clear vinyl) or on the Bainbridge CD may fill the bill. I always enjoyed Virgil's liberties with the scores and his imagination in registrations; others don't. The recording is of a bright organ in a DEAD space--very little sound of the space in which the organ was located. Virgil did like to use the pedals, though, probably more than most others do. I played this disc for an organ student from Germany, who was alternately laughing or marvelling at the interpretation, depending on the part. On a more staid note, I like Christopher Herrick's interpretations on Hyperion, but there's nothing particularly sonically spectacular about the disc with this piece.
I listen to a lot of organ music (Dunlavy SC-V, trated room, Sigtech DSP with in room response measured flat to 24 HZ). I agree with Rcprince, if you want flash and LF, the Virgil recording is the way to go. Just don't think that this is even close to what Bach might have played. The recording also contains Franck's Piece Heroique which has a solid sub 20HZ pedal at about 1:30.
