@jvdurante84 The CD is called The Organ Of St Paul's Cathedral and the organ is being played by organist John Scott. The CD has got music by: Bach,Mozart,Wesley,Mendelsshon and Franck. Its a great CD and its on the Autograph label which is part of Castle Communications and it was released in 1997.
For me the most interesting demonstration was hearing the 8' Diapason of Father Smith of 1697 situated on the Great (as the Open Diapason II rank). We need more demonstrations like this to bring this amazing instrument to a wider audience, and to increase the profile of the King of Instruments.
@RobCharles1981 indeed. A couple of years ago there was an offer up on ebay for just 30 minutes on this organ for 2000 quid! For that amount id expect to take home a rank or two as well.
Absolutley brilliant tour of this great organ, you must get the dvd of this, not to be missed !

What a charmingly presented video which puts the organ into context. It is a wonderful instrument.

Very nice. But shame no tuba/ fanfare trumpet demonstrations :(
Never forget when Huw Williams allowed me to come upstairs after evensong to see it once.
I'd love to play it.

@RobCharles1981 The interesting thing to know is who would put that offer up in the first place?

Interesting to see behind the scenes. I didn't realise the organ was so spread out.
Simon Johnson used to play at my local St. Albans Cathedral, I have him playing some hymns on video.
