Organist E. Power Biggs was classical music royalty later in life, performing a great variety of music and recording prolifically. He was an important figure in the revival of interest in the organ music of Bach and other Baroque composers, but he was interested in a wide variety of other music, from Giovanni Gabrieli to Scott Joplin. In 1932, Biggs found a job as organist at Christ Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From 1942 to 1958, he broadcast a weekly program of organ music on the CBS radio network. In 1962, Biggs released the album Music for Organ and Orchestra. He was accompanied on the album by conductors Leonard Bernstein and Eugene Ormandy, leading the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra, respectively. Biggs was also capable of crossover releases such as E. Power Biggs Plays Scott Joplin on the Pedal Harpsichord.
