Yes (I was inadvertently ambiguous!)...he seemed to play that early C major one so much that I guess that might be the single piece I have him playing the most...but off the top of my head, I'm struggling to think of many others. There are opp. 22 and 26 on this broadcast, however: 

 

and the fourth to i just discovered

What do you think ? Is Kempff a great Beethoven interpreter ?

I`m not a die hard Kempff follower and more leaning the to his late(r) career recordings like this one .... although the Beethoven is worth hearing, he really shines here with both Bach and (even more) with Schubert ....

ahahhh... ok. I always thought his Beethoven readings have a distant and cold effect on me. Some say they are warm what i never understood. Thank you for the information.

Chaumont was overlooked for many, many decades. He was just a priest in a small town, nothing much is known about his life and musical activities, but had two volumes of his compositions printed, the first of which is nowhere to be found. The second contains over 100 organ pieces, about a third is on this CD. Excellent music, flawlessly performed on a perfectly suitable instrument. This is on the same high level as the organ books of Couperin and Grigny.

Listening to this one. Very nice. And this organ has such a focused sound.
