Title: Lifeless and fake
Product review: Pipe organ music is, of course, best heard performed live, but I hoped that 5.1 surround sound would come in second (ahead of stereo). It does, but this pair of DVDs (BGOW volumes 1 and 2) is not worth listening to in any fidelity. There's something about the way Hans-Andre Stamm plays Bach, it seems lifeless. Perfunctory. Like he's playing the notes without feeling them. I'd rather listen to my cassette tape of E. Power Biggs playing Bach. The video accompaniment to the music is lame too, clearly staged shots of him scowling and pounding the keys. Stay away from these DVDs.
