	William Zeitler - About The Armonica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		E. Power Biggs (1906-1977), the famous English concert organist, was interested in Americana and musical technology, so when, in 1956, the 200th anniversary of Mozart's birth and 250th anniversary of Ben Franklin's birth coincided, Biggs decided to perform Mozart's music on Franklin's invention.
		Biggs was convinced that the Mozart works could only be played on a keyboard version of the armonica (glass harmonica), and decided to perform the Mozart works on such an instrument for the anniversary.
		Biggs doubted that the instrument would be any improved by then and candidly outlined the problems: the glasses themselves were too thick and not perfectly circular, and more research was needed on the "finger" material.

		Biggs, and in tribute, John Ayer has recorded an all-Bach organ CD on the Flentrop organ which E. Power Biggs acquired during the 1950s, and which he gave to (and which has remained housed in) Busch Hall (formerly the Bisch-Reisinger Musuem), on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

		I thought that an organist whose name was "E. Power Biggs" and had his album in a store in the mall might be a little gimmicky; the organ community might think he's a sellout or something.
		While Biggs was a very fine organist in his own right, Virgil Fox was the ultimate master in the interpretation of Bach's organ works and turning people ON to them.
		Biggs is to big to skip on anything, he turns this one into a funeral dirge.

	E. Power Biggs Collection--Organ Music Library, Music Research--AGO, American Guild of Organists, Boston Chapter
		Biggs, after training at the Royal Academy of Music in London, settled in the United States in 1930.
		Through the generosity of the late Margaret (“Peggy”) Power Biggs, the Organ Library was in 1981 the recipient of a substantial archival collection pertaining to E. Power Biggs.
		In 1958, Biggs commissioned a 3-manual tracker-action organ from the noted Dutch builder D. Flentrop, which was installed in the main hall of Harvard University’s Busch-Reisinger Museum (now Busch Hall) in Cambridge, Mass., a room with splendid acoustical properties.

		This recording has a "live" feel - it sounds as though electricity is running through the veins of all involved, from E. Power Biggs' solid and majestic organ to the wind ensemble's deft handling of passages in the Allegro moderato, to the rapid-fire pummeling of the same movement from the timpani, cymbals and tubist.
		(Biggs' playing is captured well on the 1956 version, but due to the primitive pressing, the nuances aren't imparted with as much detail or subtlety).
		Whereas the two Biggs performances are singular in musical vision and execution, the Fox version comes the closest to the piece's Romantic intent.

		Power Biggs was better known to me because Mom was a fan.
		Many were the half hours we kids spent in church while she struggled with "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." Mom found the organ terrifically difficult, but she practiced doggedly.
		Power Biggs, a Bach scholar and top-flight recording artist, was her big hero.

		I happen to think that Biggs is one of the greatest organists of our century, and this recording will tell you why (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - as an organist myself I often follow some of his interpretive choices).
		The Passacaglia is one of the most earth-shatteringly powerful works of art ever concieved - one description I like is that it's a journey "through a spectrum of tragic emotion orchestrated into a riveting narrative" (credit goes to the Bach FAQ website for that).
		Biggs is, without a doubt, one of the finest organists of this century, and one of the greatest Bach interpreters of all time.

		Many of the pieces will be familiar to those who love traditional church music, but of course, Biggs is not a regular church organist.
		Power Biggs is the only recorded organist with which I am familiar, but I have thoroughly enjoyed his interpretations of Bach.
		His version of the Anna Magdalena notebook is delightful, and the chorales are performed in such a way that they are both sonically powerful and emotionally moving.

		Therefore, this instrument was one of the first to represent more of a European design in specifications and voicing than what was presently designed throughout the United States.
		Power Biggs said about the Kramer Chapel Organ, "I believe that this is the finest combination of worthy instrument and building in the United States today." The wonderful Schlicker Organs at Valparaiso University, Concordia, Ann Arbor, and many other sites all over the country followed this significant first installation in Fort Wayne.
		This set of pipes in this amazing space have helped to teach pastors, laity, and promising church musicians almost daily what a fine organ can bring to their worship practice.
