E. Power Biggs - Selected Discography

Selected Discography

Many of his recordings are fondly recalled by classical music aficionados.

He recorded extensively for the Columbia Masterworks Records and RCA Victor labels for more than three decades. Between 1942 and 1958, he also hosted a weekly radio program of organ music (carried throughout the United States on the CBS Radio Network) that introduced audiences to the pipe organ and its literature.
