Orgelkonzert Huw Morgan, Memorial Church, Stanford

Friedrich , Freitag, 08. Februar 2013, 01:07 (vor 5008 Tagen) @ Friedrich

… Die erste Orgel 1901wurde von Murray M. Harris erbaut, 1925 von E. M. Skinner umgebaut und 1936 erweitert. 1996 wurde sie restauriert (hier ein Klangbeispiel – auch nicht übel!).

Inzwischen habe ich im Osiris-Archiv auch die Disposition aufgetrieben. Da fehlt mir zwar der anderweitig aufgeführte Skinner-Umbau 1924 oder 1925 (vielleicht eine Ente), aber sonst sieht das schön komplett aus. Laut Huw Morgan klingt die Orgel übrigens heller und etwas leichter als die Fisk-Orgel!

Gruß,
Friedrich
