American concert pianist Leonid Hambro, remembered for his legendary memory and ten-year partnership with Victor Borge, recorded these works by Beethoven for Cook Records in 1953. The juxtaposition of the early 32 Variations in C Minor with the late Opus 126 Bagatelles makes for excellent study of the development of Beethoven's compositional style.

Michoacan, Mexico, 1905: the largest organ in the Western Hemisphere at the time is imported from Germany and installed in the Morelia cathedral. The same organ, the same cathedral in 1956: cathedral organist Alfonso Vega Nunez sits down to play a Bach Fantasia and Fugue, a "little" Fugue and a Vivaldi concerto. Result: vast majesty, divine inspiration.
