Music reviews of Virgil Fox Encores
Music Review: My first classical album (in 1960)
Rating: 5 Stars
As a three year old, I listened to this LP album endlessly. It helped me develop a life long interest in organ music and organ building. The Riverside Church Aeolian-Skinner's sound and depth is one which I have instinctively compared most other organs to this day. Fox's charisma, style, interpretation and choice of pieces on this album I still truly love, even though I have learned to enjoy other more "traditional" approaches.
You'll never hear more imaginative but appropriate registrations, heart-felt renderings of Bach or energetic ones of Handel. As well, other pieces less well known, e.g., the Mulet and Boyce are special favorites. While Fox's style may not be in vogue today, at least academically, it was one firmly grounded in attention to technique and to a thorough understanding of the composer.
I could not think of a better album to buy for the first time, or one, like me almost 50 years after my first hearing, to download and fill out my digital music collection.
