handsoff Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have been searching for a recording of the organ as last restored by our hosts but without success. Is anyone aware of one please? I know that it appears on various choral recordings but I should very like much a solo CD. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsoff Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thank you Oscar. I shall investigate those and see if downloads of individual tracks may be available. I find it odd that no solo disc has been produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P DeVile Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 A CD recording was made in 1996 by OxRecs http://www.oxrecs.com/camb3.htm with 6 tracks from St John's and 4 from Kings. It is available on itunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/the-organs-of-cambridge-vol.-3/id464536897 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprondel Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thank you Oscar. I shall investigate those and see if downloads of individual tracks may be available. I find it odd that no solo disc has been produced. I remember a contribution to Piporg-l back from May 2005 (week 3) made by one who was involved in this project; you might want to look it up in the list archives. It might not entirely explain what you are wondering about, but is telling as to what he thought about the special situation of the organ. Best, Friedrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsoff Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks again for the replies. I shall download the itunes bits and although not an iplayer user will presumably be able to play them via my PC's sound card. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
