Buyer Beware
George R. Price | Dixon, MT | 01/09/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I just received my copy today, and, although this is a very fine, high quality, and emotionally moving concert CD, I experienced one major disappointment. The first two tracks listed above under "On this CD," are NOT on the CD! (Come Sweetest Death, Come, Blessed Rest, and Choral Prelude for organ "Schmücke Dich o Liebe Seele".) And one of them was the main reason that I bought the CD. Apparently, the pieces were not even part of the concert. The mostly modernist pieces that are on the CD bear a sharp contrast to harmonic, uplifting, beauty, that I had hoped to experience from those missing baroque era pieces, but fortunately a few Bach works are present. I'm not sure why Fox wasted his sublime, masterful talents on some of those disturbing, sometimes excruciating modern works, but I suppose it had something to do with the obligations of the academic environment in which he operated.
