Growing up, my father had a large collection of cantorial recordings, many on 
78's from the 1930's through to 33rpm long players from the 1950 - Rosenblat 
to Moishe Oysher to Malavsky Family Choir - the majority of those pieces had 
organ accompaniment, which I always found odd, as I grew up in an orthodox 
enviroment where, of course, not an instrument was heard in shul!

Most of the "old" Cantorial recordings that I've listened to have organ 
accompaniment. Naturally they were recorded in a recording studio, not a 
synagogue.
