E. Power Biggs (1906-1977)
E. Power Biggs was one of the preeminent
organists of the
20th century. From
1942 to
1958 he performed weekly on air from
Harvard. Some of his
notable actions / accomplishments:
Discography:
- Bach: The Four Great Toccatas and Fugues 1988

- Essential Classics: "Gabrieli In San Marco" Music For A Capella Choirs and Multip (source cut off)1996

Sadly (
IMHO) the man seems to be primarily remembered for his largely failed attempt to create the above-mentioned
keyboard glass armonica. About 60% of the hits found on
Google while researching this primarily focused on that aspect of his
musical career.
