A few nits about Pierce's response to Grantges.  I dont recall whether
either one has mentioned that to a certain extent the loudness of an
organ is independent of the number of ranks - eg a 6 rank small
church organ can be built to put out a sufficiently large sound to
support congregational singing in a church of a 1000.

Second, Fox's way of doing Bach is independent of whatever Bach did.
If Fox can pull it off with a monstrous organ interpretation instead
of a small baroque organ interpretation - and I think that he did -
then fine.  There is more than one way to skin[ner] a cat.  Who
knows what Bach would have done if he had been organist at Riverside.
I do grant that Fox certainly was not of the 'authentic instrument'
school.
