[OUP discount - until 30th Nov]

Oxford Book of Organ Music by Women Composers - utter trash. Only three pieces worth playing and they are available separately! Spend your money on a nice meal instead!

I have a copy of this - it's unpublished

 

 

[JS Bach/Vivaldi concertos transcribed by Guy Bovet]

I have a copy of this transcription. I bought it years ago when I lived in Switzerland and have played it in several recitals. It's a wonderful arrangement and have a recording of Guy Bovet playing it.

Mander Organs has received a written complaint from the highest level of the RCO about this thread.  John Mander is overseas at the moment so, for the time being and until he can instruct us further, I have had to delete one post by MusingMuso (whom I have also e-mailed, to explain why).

 

I'd be grateful if everyone could try to remain on the side of the angels - ie on the side of truthfulness, accuracy, fairness, moderation, constructiveness - certainly, threats of violence (facetious or not) are out of place on a forum like this.

 

Many thanks.

Let's stay on the side of the angels and not the saint!

Of course physical headquarters would be ‘reassuring’, but the RCO is not about buildings. Buildings are expensive, and in these days of health-and-safety and disability legislation they require a complex staffing infrastructure before the front door can even be opened. It is also worth bearing in mind that maintaining a building reduces the potential for work in other places for obvious reasons.

 

Queueing for a prom concert this summer I gazed across the road at the Royal College of Organists which looks very smart these days. But there are no organists in it.....

Until last year or so, the RCO told us the big idea was in fact a building and, yes, an organ. This would enable the RCO to fulfil its potential and give it a base and an instrument. Now suddenly the RCO is not about buildings. How much money has been wasted and what do the members get for their subs?

I like driving so I joined the AA, they send you plenty of colour leaflets, offer reduced insurance and FOR LESS THAN THAN THE RCO SUB they'll even rescue you in a breakdown and fix your car!
