ajsphead Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Can someone put some bones on this one please (no rags needed). . At 1.47 you get a good view of the maker's name on what's obviously a tpn console, but I can't get the resolution on my screen to be sure of what it says. Am a bit concerned given the context, that this might be a redundant 4 manual organ of reasonable pedigree in need of a good home. Thanks AJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roffensis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (The organist plays for 90 seconds at the beginning to ehhhhhhhhhhhh get them in the mood?) Bazuin Very joyful. I like the Clarinet when it comes in, very subtle. and the Choir really uplifted me, so much so that I feel closer to heaven. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roffensis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 An other video showing Pierre Cochereau playing the 3rd mvt of Evocation of Dupré in NDP.Sorry for the bad quality due to the old VHS tape. The quality matters not, it's stunning . He knew the organ and building well!!!..... The only other Organist I have ever heard match that is Allan Wicks.

Malcolm Kemp Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 St Paul's, West St, Brighton. The event. Paul Having been D-of-M at the church a number of years ago I can confirm that this is indeed St Paul's West Street, Brighton although I have certainly never heard the organ sound anything like this before! It is an incomplete 4 manual Hunter. There are drawstops for the Solo - a weird collection - but there was never any room for any pipework. There is a stopped 32' on the pedals derived from another rank (I can't remember which) but the bottom few pipes, although in situ, have never been connected up. The Great Twelfth, Fifteenth, Mixture and Trumpet, together with the Pedal 16' Trombone were all added in the late 1960s, during the incumbency of Fr John Milburn, who was very musical. If memory serves me correctly there still are a couple of "prepared for" stops on the pedals and "prepared for" Sesquialtera and Clarion on the Great. It is a fine instrument with a particularly rich and lovely full Swell but the action is in urgent need of renewal and all the pipework is crammed into the base of the tower. In a resonant churhc it would sound absolutely magnificent. Generally regarded as a sister instrument to the large Hunter in St Andrew's Worthing. If you know Brighton, it is just behind the Brighton Centre and the tower vaguely resembles a moon rocket. Although they have a loyal regular congregation and the best choir in Brighton by a very long way they are not exactly wealthy and it is unlikely that any major work on the organ could be contemplated. Currently they are necessarily having the nave floor renewed. Without naming it I have referred to this church in posts on two other topics in the last few days. One was that on musical standards in church but I can't remember what the other topic was. The church is kept open by a faithful band of church watchers from mid-morning until early afternoon every day and it is well worth visiting. If you like extreme Anglo Catholic worship then solemn Mass is Sunday at 11 am with a low Mass at 11.30am every other day. It was the first of the Wagner churches in the Anglo Catholic tradition in Brighton. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Humana Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I really enjoyed Stamm's neat performance of Kommst du nun, Jesu. A nice, sensible speed - and I am inclined to agree with his obvious conclusion that there is a good reason why the pedal part is notated in dotted rhythms rather than triplets. Great pedal trills too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWAnderson Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Have any others seen the videos of Yves Devernay performing at NdP. They are very interesting to watch, especially seeing his assistant running round the console since there was no combination action. JA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headcase Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Does anyone know anything about this lady : She is currently in the UK, recording an arrangement/transcription of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. The Mendelssohn in the clip seems cleanly performed, though to me not the most thrilling choice of work to transcribe. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Harvey Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The Italian Symphony is a very fine piece indeed and she transcribes it extremely well. Just not sure it really comes across so well on the organ in a dry acoustic like that - nowhere to hide but she's so well prepared she doesn't need to! I like the Stamm videos at Waltershausen. Is it just me or does he sometimes look a bit tense and uncomfortable on that organ? Before we start going on about historic organ consoles not being comfortable to play or "ergonomic", just watch someone like Jacques van Oortmersson play at the Waalse Kerk or Pieter van Dyke play at Alkmaar - both similarly historic organ consoles - but those two look very comfortable and graceful when they play, without a hint of tension and the resulting playing is very different in its character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnv8gjbx-0Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Lauwers Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Indeed, to have Jacques van Oortmerssen at Waltershausen would be rather great....And his registration demonstrates he would be happy with its specifications. Now can an organ with six 8' flue stops on the Hauptwerk and tracker action be "light, quick, responsive, sensitive, with a distinct pluck (etc)", akin to a clavichord ? The question is open, but it is sure Waltershausen is the complete antithesis to a neo-baroque organ. It is fully about tone, boldness, warmth and colors.
