i feel that the organist(no dis-repute),could have used the title,solemn melody,more dramaticaly at the end,as though ones soul had bn united in prayer with god.

How strange: a cult with an organ!

I read in the liner notes to a CD I have from here that some 2600 Aeolian Skinner pipes were removed a while back.

Walford Davies would turn in his grave!

The pews are cushioned, I think remember carpet, but it's not wall to wall (Thank Heavens!)
The room is not very reverberant, but the brilliance of the organ makes up for it in my opinion.

You're right it's a fantastic organ! Like the Mormon Tabernacle organ, it just doesn't sound right in recordings... I don't know why.
When I played there, I believe the organist there (Bryan Ashley) told me one (maybe it was two) of the 32' stops was/were digital... I might be wrong though.

Better use the music! Many wrong harmonies, wonderful organ!
What stops are used at the very end on the Choir?
