William Porter Plays Bach

Just in case you missed Sunday's Organ Loft broadcast, here's a taste of what you would have heard:




Make sure to tune in next week (click for listening information).

Bach: One of a Kind
William Porter, organist
Fritts organ, Pacific Lutheran University
Tacoma, Washington

This is the first nationally released CD recorded on the new Paul Fritts organ at PLU. Fritts' magnum opus, this spectacular organ has 54 stops/ 80 ranks on three manuals. The pedal division includes a full length 32' Posuane as well as a 32' Subbass. The combination of one of the finest organ builders and organists in the United States, 24-bit recording technology, and Lagerquist Hall's four-second reverberation time, make this CD a must-have!

Our number one selling Bach organ CD.

"Star Recording!" Recording of the month, The Organ magazine, UK
