P DeVile Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have just had the new recording of the organ at the Royal Albert Hall delivered and it is absolutely wonderful. Thomas Trotter is at his finest, playing proper Town Hall stuff: http://www.regent-records.co.uk/product_details_215.htm The organ sounds spot on, thanks to Michael Broadway's excellent talents Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombarde32 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Having heard the organ several times now, with orchestra and solo, since the restoration, I have to say that it is probably the finest instrument in the UK. It is absolutely stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Richell Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 On Tuesday night Nigel Ogden included a piece from Thomas Trotters new recording on the RAH organ, and the organ sounded great. Colin Richell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
