My first musical love is organ music. That's why Bach is first on that list :) My favorite one is probably Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, but so many of Bach's organ works are just amazing. I'd also suggest Passacaglia in C minor (BWV 582) and Fantasia and Fugue in G minor (BWV 542).

If you want to find recordings of any of Bach's organ works, look for Lionel Rogg's versions. He's recording every single Bach organ piece...three separate times. I found a really good CD of his, it's simply titled "Organ Works." It's recorded on one of the Silbermann organs. The whole CD is absolutely fantastic and I wish I had the whole set.

Non-Bach organ pieces...well, once you go Bach, you never go back. (heh) Though I could recommend Saint-Saen's Symphony No.3 in C minor, the "Organ" symphony. But there's not much of organ in that.

Do you know of any good pieces?
