Am back from day 1 of the Toronto Bach Festival where they did mostly Bach (and snuck in a Vivaldi piece), including Brandenburg Concerto #3.  Great performances in a fairly intimate space.

Tomorrow there is a noontime all-organ performance at St. Andrew's.  And yes, Toccata and Fugue in D minor is on the program.  I'm not sure I've ever heard it live on a church organ before.  (It is played as part of Powell and Pressburger's A Canterbury Tale, which I just saw about a week ago, but I feel confident hearing it in person will be more inspiring...)
