P DeVile Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I would like to draw your attention to a couple of recitals coming up at Saffron Walden Parish Church. Saturday 19th July at 7.30 David Cook (Assistant organist Saffron Walden Parish Church) Big Screen. Saturday 6th September at 7.30 Keith Hearnshaw (Concert Organist) Big Screen. Lovely church - the largest in Essex. 4 manual instrument HNB/Wells http://www.stmaryssaffronwalden.org/index.htm Peter Apologies if this appears to be biased.........

Colin Richell. Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Why is it perfectly ethical to advertise a recital that (a) you are giving, (b a friend of yours is giving, c)a player for whom you have great regard is giving, (d) is taking place at a venue with which you have some association, (e) is being given on an instrument that you rate very highly; but it is not ethical to advertise a recital that (f) is to be given on an instrument which your company maintains? Please enlighten us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Richell Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Because there are designated sites for all recitals in the Uk who do a fine job, and I would suspect that most contributors or readers of this thread would be aware of. them. The recitals mentioned are included in Stephen Smith's organrecitals.com. He works very hard for this site, so I do not see the reason for duplication. So, is the said organ builder going to inundate the Mander site with recitals held in all the venues where they maintain the organ, and if not how fair is that ? Perhaps you can enlighten me as to how many other organ builders contribute to the Mander site in the same way ? All the other events included under "recitals" have been submitted by individuals, I believe. Colin Richell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look after the organs in Saffron Walden Parish Church and I am happy to promote the organ recital series. The fact that I am personally involved here.... because I live here and sing in the choir is immaterial. I am hoping that people will come and support the recital series and enjoy the instrument. This is what we all......... well most want. Mr Richell.

Malcolm Kemp Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Perhaps I am being naive but, surely, we are all here to support and help each other? Organ recitals are notoriously badly attended (with a few exceptions by famous concert artists) and they need all the publicity they can get. I cannot see why recitals should not be advertised both on the organrecitals.com website and on this Board, especially if by doing so the size of the audience is increased. I look at this site daily but I rarely look at the other one more than (probably) once every two or three weeks. My choice. See Psalm 133 (Anglican numbering) verse 1.

P DeVile Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I have just thought of another recital and evensong that I can highly recommend to all. The final evensong of the term at St. John's Cambridge is on Sunday 6th July and is preceeded by the half-hour recital given by the Senior Organ Scholar Leon Charles, who leaves to become an assistant at Westminster Abbey. the recital is at 6.00 and is: J.S. Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D minor (BWV 565) Percy Grainger: Handel in the Strand (arr. Stockmeier) Boëllmann: Suite Gothique 1. Introduction – Choral 2. Menuet Gothique 3. Prière à Notre-Dame 4. Toccata Evensong is: Responses and Preces: Radcliffe Psalm 32 Parry (Great Service) Parry: Hear my words, ye people Hymns 388(i), 252 Voluntaries: Elgar Nimrod Rossini (arr. Lemare) Overture to “William Tell” Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at this site daily but I rarely look at the other one more than (probably) once every two or three weeks. Malcolm Kemp Couldn't agree more - I visit daily too, but seldom visit the organrecitals site, so from my perspective, I am more likely to attend a recital having heard about it here than anywhere else. Furthermore, I too have no problem with Henry Willis advertising recitals on organs that he is proud of either by association or otherwise. Happy days now on this thread or is it "here we go again"??? I'm sure if Mr Mander disagreed he would lock the thread!!!!!

Tony Newnham Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi Just a note of my now annual demonstration recitals on various reed organs in the Victorian Reed Organ Museum, Victoria Hall, Saltaire, W. Yorkshire during the Saltaire Festival. I'll be playing various reed organs from Mustels downwards, and repertoire will include Cesar Frank and Karg-Elart (all being well) along with some lighter fare. Sat 20th & Sunday 21st September - museum open 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, recitals shortly after 11:00 and at 1:00, about 45 minutes each time (and more or less that same programme). Hope that I may see some of you there. Every Blessing Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
