[.ca] Organ Works Vol. 5

Rigid, but enjoyable:
The playing on this CD seems a little wooden, lacking a natural flow. That said, it's still very enjoyable. If you programmed Bach's melodies into a computer and had the machine spit them back at you they'd sound pretty good. They probably look good on paper. The performance is more stiff than, say, Rostropovich's emotional take on Bach's cello suites, but the material is wonderful and it sounds great on the organ. And it's not like Weinberger isn't a capable player, it's just that to the casual classical fan who's used to rock and roll, his playing seems to lack the special spark that makes a great perfomance.
