J.S. Bach.
 
Accept no other......
 
EDIT:
 
As far as organ players go....this guy is rather bad ass:

Bach is of course the top recommendation for organ music, but you may also want to check out romantic organ music for dazzle and special effects. A couple of Liszt CDs I own and recommend are

 
(great sound) and

(better selection, less expensive).

Saint Saens wrote an organ symphony.

Slightly off the beaten track, but absolutely amazing, is the Symphonie Concertante by Joesph Jongen:  The final Toccata movement will knock your socks off.
 

 
Hindemith's Organ Concerto (and his Kammermusik No.7) is less quirky than his usual works, and shows how skillful he is with orchestral color.

Thanks, firstable I'm going with Symphonie Concertante, it intrigued me  
regarding Bach... which cd with Hans-Andre Stamm should I get?

If it's Hans-Andre Stamm.....any of them.

 
You seriously can't go wrong with any of his stuff.

Saint Saens - Symphony No. 3
 
This is a great piece.  It is more of an "orchestra + organ" than "organ accompanied by organ" work though.
