Are you sure?

I have been playing this Toccata and Fugue for nearly 50 years now, having heard it played at a lecture/recital in Portsmouth Guildhall in the early 60's. I have played it and loved it ever since but I'm not too certain that it can be regarded so highly. I have never heard, or heard of, anyone else playing it so I am going to give it an airing on the 26th September 2010 on the powerful Hero's Organ in the fortress of Kufstein. Most of the Austrian Tyrol and even parts of Bavaria will thus hear it. Google Kufstein if you don't know anything about this weird and wonderful organ.
