I know some people really like Walcha, but this is getting a little too POV for me. -Sesquialtera II 19:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. Can't we have a little balance? Some of us think Walcha was superseded and there should be dissenting voices quoted here. 217.44.65.6 (talk) 14:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

- Walcha was, in his time, a very great organist and interpreter, especially of Bach's music. But time has moved on and Walcha has taken his place in music history. There is no over glorifying of him here in Frankfurt. But his name stands out as important figure in the baroque revival after the 2nd world war. I've just done some reediting of the article on Walcha. The problem is that the article is not at all good! I hope someone can rewrite it! I don't have enough information. There don't need to be dissenting voices - there have been many good organists since Walcha (and most of them have benefitted from Walcha's work), and they probably have their own Wiki page already! The question here is not whether we, as fans of Early Music, want to buy a CD collection of Walcha. We should be primarily interested in Walcha as a great organist of his time, a perfomer of Bach when not too many others were doing so: ie a great organist, musicologist and Frankfurter! And I don't think we'll find too many dissenting voices especially from the 1940s through the 1950s!

- If you do not like what is said in the article, then go ahead and improve it yourselves! Of course it is a lot easier just to say there's "too much praise" here and there, or to say that "the problem is that the article is not at all good" without contributing a single idea, much less any edits, in order to help solve that "problem". I personally like the article as it is, and also like Walcha's recorded music very much; What I'll never like is mediocrity. --AVM (talk) 20:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
