Pierre Lauwers Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 I found this: http://www.move.com.au/artist.cfm/198 The only Audio file being Strings (the kind of which never existed on the continent). Are there really Dom-Bédos like Trompettes in this organ? Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJK Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 How about Sydney Town Hall? This instrument is tonally exactly as Hill left it in 1890, as far as I know. There are CDs available and I think that there are also some sound samples which may be downloaded from the official site. Failing that, do an internet search for 'Thomas Heywood' (organist) and see what is available. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Michael Woodward recorded this organ in the 1980s on vinyl - I have a copy somewhere, but owing to building work it is in storage I think the organist was Robert Ampt, but I can't remember the programme - but I do remember it was a very fine recording. Priory are currently re-issuing the Woodward recordings on CD - they haven't yet got to this one, but hopefully soon...... JJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Priory are currently re-issuing the Woodward recordings on CD<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are they planning to do them all? I'd love the recording of Catherine Ennis at Reading Town Hall to reappear on CD. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Humana Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Mmmm.... Jane Watts is not bad, either.... (Sorry.) VH, do you happen to know if this CD is still available, please - is it on the Priory label? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, it's in Priory's "Great Australasian Organs" series and is still available.

Pierre Lauwers Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Found on "Organ and organists online": http://www.organsandorganistsonline.com/me...-in-d-minor.mp3 Mark Quarmby plays Bruckner. Here the reeds, though not of the "closed toned" kind at all, are not french at all (to say the least, they are *passably better* in that music...). And an absolutely georgous Diapason Chorus and Mixture! (Why the H... Have search something else?) Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Humana Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Erm... Sorry to disillusion you, Pierre, but that organ is actually the one in St John's, Toorak, Melbourne - though it is another Hill: http://www.move.com.au/disc.cfm/3210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
