OK, folks, organ trivia time. My notes say this piece is by "R Maneri." I know nothing about Signor Maneri, I can't find anything on the internet, & I'm not wealthy enough to have my own set of Grove. Does anyone know who he is?

Chester's current instrument dates from 1876. It's a IV/66/83, renovated in 1991 (15 years after this recording was made) by David Wells of Liverpool.
Performed by McNeil Robinson.

  • superb shame we cannot see someone playing the music so as to appreciate it's brilliance

  • Well, given that this recording was taken from an old LP -- made in the pre-video-tape 1970's -- that would be a tall order to fill.

  • That may explain why I couldn't find his name ;-). Thanks.

  • I'm playing Chester in a few weeks, according to my teacher it's a hideous instrument to play, but we'll see :P

  • To find the score first Google "Raffaele Manari" and then go to the selection (5th choice down as of today) to "[PDF] Manari - Salve Regina - Quilisma Publications" and download the score (14 page pdf).

  • My friend Roger Fisher was "King" here for a looooooog time!

  • Raffaele Manari was an Italian bishop and he was one of the most important organist that in Italy with Enrico Bossi and others renovated the organ italian tradition with a movement called "Cecilian Reform" between 19 and 20 century.He was the planner of the great organ Tamburini in Messina's.cathedral,Italy,the third bigger organ in Europe.This is a very hard piece for pedals,my master played it very well at some concert.

  • Wow this sounds truly brilliant, I love Chester's Organ, even more when staring at the candle flames almost being blown out when all the stops are fully open!

    But the organ is only as good as it's player which in this case is wonderful!!

  • Neil!

    All best .. get in touch with me via Drew University.

  • wow, the pedals on this thing are incredible!
