Music reviews of The Girard College Recordings
Music Review: More for historians than audiophiles
Rating: 3 Stars
This recording was done in 1941 when Virgil Fox was 29 years old. You will find some of the pieces on here which were to become synonymous with Fox, such as "Come, Sweet Death" and "Thou Art the Rock." If you are a Fox fan, a fan of Aeolian-Skinner organs, or have an interest in older recordings, then you might consider this CD essential to your collection. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it since it sounds like it was recorded with a mic as far away from the organ as possible. This results in too much ambience and really cuts down on the dynamics.
