You're probably thinking of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor; it's the one always played when decrepid castles are shown on-screen.

E. Power Biggs is the recognized Bach organ authority, and he has dozens of recordings out there.

Also, check into Walter/Wendy Carlos' "Switched-On Bach." The original in 1967 was the first commercial use of the Moog synthesizer as a dedicated musical instrument (not simple sound effects), and the revisited release in 2000 covers newer pieces.
