"A magnificent instrument- registered perfectly. Mary Preston's playing is exciting and impeccable. In short, this is a perfect match of performer, music and organ, and the result is as it should be, a great recording." -- Organist's Review "Mary Preston's playing is uniformly brilliant. The opening Dupré unfolds in a most satisfying way; the Widor is projected with immense character and yet finesse, while the Duruflé Suite seems to be second nature to her. A wonderful record to which one can return each time to find greater depths." -- American Organist Anyone who loves organ music and great sound will be thrilled! One of America's grandest pipe organ installations, by C.B. Fisk. Arguably the finest concert hall acoustics in America, at the Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas. Preston is... Less

With two sets of physical drawbars per manual, extremely realistic simulations of a B3 tone wheel organ, Vox and Farfisa transistor organs, and a beautiful sampled baroque pipe organ, the new Nord C2D is the ultimate portable organ solution. The B3 model Nord C2D is the result of over a decade of perfecting our tone wheel simulations. We haven't just analyzed the signals from each of the 91 spinning tone wheels inside several original instruments, we have also paid years of attention to each and every one of the intricate details that make up the characteristics of the actual sound in a vintage organ. Our simulation not only reacts to the panel settings, it even adapts to the real time performance and will faithfully reproduce the important foldback and energy robbing characteristics; the... Less

Your eyes will see an easily... Less

2009 collection. The prototype Hammond Organ was introduced to the American public, in April 1935 by engineer Laurens Hammond. The relatively low cost of his invention by comparison with a pipe organ made it an immediately attractive proposition to churches, theatres, cinemas, private homes and, especially in the United States, radio stations. Later models have continued to be built until the present time, with the Hammond Organ Company now owned by the multi-national Suzuki more producing digital versions said to sonically close the original Hammond models. Over the decades, Jazz musicians, and a variety of Blues, Rock and Gospel performers have been drawn to the instrument. 28 tracks including cuts from Ken Griffin, Harry Farmer, Ethel Smith, Chris Hamalton & His Hammond Organs, Milt...

For centuries, pipe organs stood at the summit of musical and technological achievement, admired as the most complex and intricate mechanisms the human race had yet devised. In All The Stops, New York Times journalist Craig Whitney journeys through the history of the American pipe organ and brings to life the curious characters who have devoted their lives to its music. From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, organ music was wildly popular in America. Organ builders in New York and New England could hardly fill the huge demand for both concert hall and home organs. Master organbuilders found ingenious ways of using electricity to make them sound like orchestras. Organ players developed cult followings and bitter rivalries. One movement arose to restore to American organs the clarity... Less

The organist seated at the king of instruments with thousands of pipes rising all around him, his hands busy at the manuals and his feet patrolling the pedalboard, is a symbol of musical self-sufficiency yielding musical possibilities beyond that of any other mode of solo performance. In this book, David Yearsley presents a new interpretation of the significance of the oldest and richest of European instruments, by investigating the German origins of the uniquely independent use of the feet in organ playing. Delving into a range of musical, literary and visual sources, Bach's Feet demonstrates the cultural importance of this physically demanding mode of music-making, from the blind German organists of the fifteenth century, through the central contribution of Bach's music and legacy, to...
