I had some time ot kill waiting for a MD appointment last week, so I wandered into Trinity Church at Broadway & Wall Street. I was lucky in that the Organist was performing on the church's magnificent (7000+) pipe organ. Nothing quite like hearing a pipe organ getting a workout, an impressive instrument to hear live.

M.P. Moller - that is the standard by which I judge pipe organ music only because the best organ music I ever heard was from one of his creations.

There is a Moller theatre organ at the Atlanta Fox theatre, I used to frequently visit the gent that restored it at his apartment in the theatre until he passed last year.

I forgot you were local.
I never would have thought to do that.
I'll have to try and remember to give that a try next time I'm downtown

Pio, I live downtown and am within easy walking distance of this beautiful and historic church.

symphony for organ #6 in G minor opus 42-the first movement (Allegro) played by Jan Kraybill scores super high for me these days

Actually, I was in the National Presbyterian Church in downtown Wash, DC last week ... the chapel was not in use but I slipped in to have a look. Pix here - #201

Turns out they have a HUGE 7000+ pipe organ in that space - I did not know to slip behind the curtains for a look - but the next day I was reading about the pipe organ
and found pictures of the pipes hidden behind curtains behind the altar.
More info on the Pipe organ here -

I have some Cds of their pipe organ I got a couple years back ...
Nice, but not like the Delos or Dorian recordings ...

Did you get the Telarc- Michael Murray CD yet and play the Messian piece at full volume? Did you blow any woofers with it.

Virgil Fox or E. Power Biggs. The former is more flamboyant, the latter is more traditionalist, both will give your speakers a workout with the right recording.
