But, I can't stop myself listening, and growing more and more appalled...
I'm not a music purist, I've played some lovely arrangements of orchestral stuff at the piano, and have some gorgeous clarinet arrangements of piano music or orchestral pieces, and have even written some simple arrangements of well known tunes when I was teaching piano and clarinet. But, some things are just wrong on anything other than their original instrument, and this is one of them.
Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor should be played on the organ, not by an orchestra. I can appreciate it's good, and well done, but It Is Wrong, I tell you.
(And, yes, I am also about to be very perverse here. When Sky did their version in the 1980s, I had a tape of it, played it over and over again and enjoyed it. That is, until I learnt to play it on the organ! I was young, and fickle...)
I'm going to have to get hold of the church keys tomorrow, and go and play it loudly to dislodge this from my head. It seems to have dislodged all the tunes from Les Mis้rables though!
