At the risk of asking a daft question, who is refurbishing St Pauls? I only ask as having bought the fantastic new CD of the RAH (go get your copy NOW!) and then gone to Dame Weir's website I saw this statement:
"This will be a celebrity recital, the only event of its kind at St Paul's this season, just before the organ goes into wraps for a period of refurbishment, so it is the last chance to hear it in recital for some time."
Any thoughts?

The CD is 'The Organ at Adlington Hall played by Alan Cuckston'. It is a 'home made' ie non-label production on CDr but with good colour booklet and printed CD and is as good a presentation as you could want. I bought it off eBay from user ID 'foxgloveaudio'. It is well played and recorded. Maybe this seller has more copies, try e-mailing him. Music is mainly from 1550-1780 and seems to suit this instrument well. Hope this all helps,

Anyone know how the Adlington Hall organ is tuned? I ask because I've just bought a CD of it with loads of period pieces and it sounds great!

You could do worse than try to aquire a copy of "The well tempered Organ" by Charles Padgham published by John Brennan of the Positif Press Oxford. ISBN 0906894131. There used to be a cassette to go with the book to demonstrate the different temperaments described within. Anyone know if this interesting book is going to be reprinted and/or the audio re-issued on CD?

Reading this thread has just reminded me of the Hindemith Sontas and Reger Prelude in D & Intro and Passacaglia etc played by Piet Kee at St Bavo Haarlem. Is this the sort of clarity you are refering to? The CD is Chandos CHAN9097.

As I sit here I'm sharing with my the neighbours a thunderous example of the best of British Organbuilding! (If they're banging on the walls, I can't hear it!)
