The interesting thing for me that I read in the liner notes is that apparently the contemporary organ for which the music written by the composers listed herein was for an organ without pedals!

Re: What are you listening to?
There has been a bit of talk about cathedrals and organs recently and coincidentally I was listening to this the other day so I have gone off and taken a photo of it as it may be of interest....

Some more recent listening; music by a composer that we do not see that often around here (except perhaps posted by Darren)....

Re: What are you listening to?
That looks interesting, Fergus. Pedals came late to quite a few territories, so manual only music is common (and very handy!) What composers are included here? Are xe talking Boyce, Greene, Wesley, etc?

This was a fact that I was completely ignorant of Simon.

I love David Oistrakh's music making. The EMI ICON box set is well worth getting.fergus wrote:Current listening....

Coincidentally, more Mozart....
This is a period performance with a difference. Andreas Schiff plays Mozart’s own fortepiano, Yuuko Shiokawa plays Mozart’s own violin and Erich Hobarth plays what is believed to be Mozart’s own viola; surely a truly period soundworld!
