Many of us enjoy Vidor's Toccata and Fugue.
Here it i/s played by CM Vidor on the Cavaille-Colle organ in St Sulpice Paris. He always said it was played too fast. here it is played by the man who knew best! (He was 88 when he recorded this.... )

Thanks for that Tripps, I don't remember seeing that video before though I'm sure I must have done! The Reverb Factory produced another video of our WW1 exhibition that same year.
We have just had to get a reprint done of Stephanie's book, on sale at £15 now. Stephanie writes a new book for the society every year just about. She is amazing!
How did you know it was me? I hardly recognised myself. :laugh5:

Thanks for that David, a very nice video and covering a subject very close to my heart. Someone once said "All politics is local!" I believe the same thing applies to history. You have to have a knowledge of local history before you can make any sense of the wider scene. Stephanie helps us to do that.
