...on accordion?

I've never heard this played on accordion and it almost sounds like an organ. The toccata section is missing, but damn this guy is good!

He's got it down to a T. I have a feeling he did some listening to the E. Power Biggs recording of it, because he's really playing in the idiom. Needless to say, I'm impressed.

It's good but nothing compares to the organ, in particular Toccata and Fugue played at the Riga Cathedral by Frederik Magle on this magnificent instrument:
