Virgil Fox Encores      (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  March 30, 2006

Excellent. One of the few if any Virgil Fox discs in print. Sound is good with some hiss and a very audible truck passing by the church during a quiet passage.

I see that there is a remaster cd out of this done on Apogee UV 22 converter that I am sure sounds great but I have no first hand knowledge. I probably hadn't listened to this "record" straight thru since '75. I listened to the ... more
