  • 9 dislikes for Doc Hearnshaw (who, unlike some big names I could mention, is actually making the big old Harrison sound exciting) and this wonderful music? What is the world coming to?

    This makes for a very interesting comparison with Ian Ball's excellent version at Gloucester, and George Thalben-Ball's at the Alexandra Palace, both on YouTube.

  • @contraposaune - one type I've encountered, and which I see Mander used at St Peter's in St Albans is a simple cylindrical piston, nothing to snag your cuff on! HNB sugar cubes seem to divide opinion - some like them, many hate them.

  • needed a better camera, inferior sound, alas...

  • Brilliant. I wish this recording had been in stereo though :-)

  • @MusicPredominates Sibelius - "Finlandia"

  • Is this composition by Jean Sibelius ?

  • @MusicPredominates Isn't this one of the organ peices by Sibelius?

  • @MrRakentaja : No this is not Jean Sibelius playing !

  • Jean Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957)

  • @virginiaorganbuilder Heh yes, I started learning under James Lancelot whilst Chorister at Durham Cathedral, definately a good start, and obviously I'd been playing piano since 4 so that helped :) As regards the pistons, I prefer the pistons that only flare a tiny bit, (eg. Harrison & Harrison pistons) You might be intersted in the "sugar cube" square pistons that Hill Norman & Beard used, The organ I play every sunday has these (as it was built in the 60s by the firm), and I really like them!
