Wanamaker Organ - Franck Chorale #1 (Extract 1)

[codeman2008]

Would you get a load of those Voix Humanas! That's the most incredible thing! The three chorales are without a doubt among the greatest pieces ever written for organ!

God that chorus must sound (and feel) heavenly in real life! Such beautiful sounds surrounding one from all directions.

[gromitbilly]

Yes, indeed. Aren't they stunning? I was standing near the vox chamber when I was filming this and was blown away by the vox chorus at close range.

The vox chorus is housed in its own chamber which used to house the Orchestral Division. The Orchestral has been rightfully relocated to a new chamber which will truly honor this beautiful division. The old orchestral chamber is perfect for the vox chorus.

[cromorne]

It's nice to hear those Virgil Voxes. They sound really beautiful in the Grand Court.

[gromitbilly]

They do, indeed. Not just one, but a chorus! Very effective.

what an ugly console the wanamaker has, although the sound must be great

[cromorne]

How do you propose fitting some 200+ stop tabs on a console?

[gromitbilly]

The console was being refurbished/restored at the time so what you see here is only a temporary case. The restoration has been completed and it looks beautiful.
