jackaubrey Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Has anyone heard this organ yet - the design looks interesting in many respects. http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/bramall/learning-spaces/organ.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJJ Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 There was an interesting review in a recent edition of the Choir & Organ mag. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Pykett Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Rather different to the Hope-Jones organ at Worcester cathedral which Elgar liked, or at least, didn't positively dislike (inter alia, having offered to demonstrate it to Dora Penny of 'Enigma Variations' fame). Wonder what he would have thought of this new one? Will they be playing his Sonata on it at some point? In reply to the question above, I haven't heard it live but there are some Youtube recordings of it. This one is of reasonable audio quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri9HSwhN9Wc CEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Thanks for posting that YouTube link, Colin. Have only listened to a few snippets. The modern piece on the mean-tone chair organ I suspect won’t find a place in the repertoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
