British organist Peter Hurford was one of the great Bach organ scholars of our time. Sadly, he passed away on March 3, 2019 at age 88 after a battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Hurford recorded the complete catalog of Bach organ works in the 1970s and 80s. This week we'll sample some of these recordings as we remember his legacy.
