Toccata Fugue in D Minor

Post by Coriolis »

...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 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

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:
