I am glad to inform you that I have recently finished another project, which I consider as an important addition to the BCW. This is the complete discography of complete recordings of Bach's Organ Works.
For the sake of completeness I decided to include EVERYTHING. That means including every set defined as COMPLETE even if it is not so complete; every recorded set, either finished or still in its way; sets with partial data or no data at all; and listing all the works in each set, including works with keyboard BWV Number. .
The main page of "Recorded Sets of Bach's Complete (or near complete) Organ Works" is presented at:
https://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/Organ-Complete.htm
The most left link leads to the artist biography.
The most the right link will take you to the page/location in which all known details of the set are presented.
All in all, the list includes 82 recorded sets. You can easily notice that two organists have recorded the organ oeuvre three times: Marie-Claire Alain and Lionel Rogg; five organists have recorded it twice: Karol Gołębiowski, Jean Guillou, Ewald Kooiman, Wolfgang Rübsam and Helmut Walcha; five sets are by multi-performers, etc.
To build this discography I have used every possible source I could find, including web-catalogues, web-stores, web-magazines, artists' websites, labels' websites and other websites, as well as various printed catalogues and my personal collection. Some dedicated collectors have provided info of unfamiliar sets and completed missing data. Their names are listed at the bottom of the performer discography pages. Any help in making this discography even more complete would be most appreciated. If you are aware of a complete set Bach's organ work not listed in this discography, and/or if you can fill some gaps, and/or if you find an error, please inform me, either through the BML or to my personal e-mail address.
Sincerely,
