DISABILITY CLEANSING AND HATE CRIME GAIN MOMENTUM
As our acting cabinet prepares to offload its responsibilities for the sick and disabled onto local gvmnt., local gvmnt prepares to protect itself from the financial burden.
Thank you for posting this glimpse into an amazing world so very different from the one I have known. I could only dream of experiencing something like this.
What I see and love in those older organs, is the windstream that you hear. You hear the pipe pronounce the note, more or less, depending on what style you are looking to. Thats what I mis at Rieger a bit..
Not so much the acoustics as the microphone placement. During the week the staff at the Cathedral let me put the video camera well down the nave, which captured the sound much more effectively. For the weekends, however, they asked me to put it in the gallery, which meant right next to the organ. Consequently, the organ dominates the sound, especially the pipework on one side.
Having said that, I'm not really a big fan of the organ anyway. It's a very German-Baroque instrument by Rieger -- completely inappropriate for English Cathedral music. It's rather harsh, with only one enclosed division. I quite enjoyed the other Cathedral instruments I played on the tour, at least for the music we were singing and I was playing.
Is it really German-Baroque? I thought it was a bit like French baroque with an added so-called 'romantic' swell (and bombarde?).. I definetely agree that it doesn't suit the English Tradition very well, though. I actually think it's quite sad they changed their Harrison & Harrison (or?) for this Rieger.

Terribly noisy organ, appalling hymn.

Gotta love Gerre Hancock. My first organ teacher was John Schaeffer incidentally. Sadly he has gone on to his crown in life.

Hmmm. Thankfully, the John Schaefer in the video has not gone on to his crown in life. The coincidence of the names is interesting, however.

Love the Kings Chapel style conducting with the 2 conductors!
