  • History of the Cathedral Organ
    History of the Cathedral Organ The first worship service was held at the Cathedral of the Incarnation on Trinity Sunday, 1911. At this time, only the undercroft was completed, and the building was designated the “pro-cathedral”, meaning the building was designated to someday be the Cathedral. No records can be found of what instrument was used between 1911 and 1931, when the upper church was finally completed. Neither can any record be found of the instrument used in our sanctuary between 1931 and 1941. In 1941, the original Cathedral organ was purchased from the Möller Organ Company of Hagerstown. The instrument at the time had a total of fourteen ranks of pipes and chimes. The purchase price was $5,825, for Möller Opus 7042 (about $91,000 in 2014 dollars). Completion of the organ, envisioned to be 43 ranks, was planned as soon as funds were available. In 1960, the Cathedral received a bequest by Ella Jarrett and Mary Helen Ziegler for additions to the organ. A contract was given to the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston for the additions (Opus 1386). Six additional ranks were added to the swell organ and seven ranks were added to the choir organ. The cost of this work was $15,200 (about $119,000 in 2014 dollars). A proposal to add an additional 11 ranks to the great organ and five ranks to the pedal organ was rejected by the Chapter as too costly. The cost of these additions at the time was $17,550. By 1971, the organ was in need of an overhaul.

  • Recensione Del CD the Book of Bilbo and Gandalf – Marco Lo Muscio Ho
    Recensione del CD The Book of Bilbo and Gandalf – Marco Lo Muscio Ho recentemente acquistato il CD ed è stata una bellissima sorpresa scoprire le raffinate composizioni del Maestro Lo Muscio, che con notevole sensibilità ed eccellente capacità espressiva ci introduce nelle magiche atmosfere della “Terra di mezzo”. Il lavoro si ispira al famoso racconto Tolkieniano, ed attraverso 9 brani ci accompagna per mano nella fantastica narrazione di alcuni capitoli del Signore degli Anelli.. Inoltre il tutto è magicamente impreziosito dalle stupende performance di Steve Hackett, il quale ha dedicato un brano di chitarra classica all’amico Marco, John Hackett e Oksana Sinkova al flauto traverso, e da Par Lindh, che introduce il lavoro con un bellissimo brano degli anni passati, sul quale interviene nel finale il Maestro Lo Muscio con il Piano con una riuscita elaborazione del tema portante, conferendo allo stesso maggior respiro ed un finale più espressivo. Il successivo brano si struttura su un tema estremamente raffinato con atmosfere celtiche, qui si possono assaporare le grandi capacità espressive di Lo Muscio. Il terzo brano è una bellissima suite ispirata al racconto del mago Gandalf nella saga del Signore degli Anelli, esprime forza, energia, estro ed, al momento opportuno, quando non te lo aspetti, il Mago, pardon, il Maestro Lo Muscio, estrae dal suo cilindro compositivo un tema meraviglioso che ravviva le atmosfere di “Ombra e Luce” che riflettono il titolo del brano. Bellissimo! Il quarto brano è una splendida composizione di Steve Hackett dedicata a Lo Muscio, che si inserisce a meraviglia nell’album. Molto intimistico e raffinato, Steve imprime al suono della chitarra classica un alone di magia che si amalgama a perfezione con il sound dell’intero lavoro.

  • October 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Boxsets feature heavily in our list this month, primarily due to a big promotion that we now have running until Christmas (pp.12-19), but we would also like to point out couple of exciting new boxes that might be of interest. The Decca Sound is a brilliant 50 album overview of analogue recordings that Decca produced in the pre-digital era. The beginnings of high fidelity, their ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence, bringing in a golden age of classical recorded music. Included in the box are celebrated recordings from the likes of Solti, Haitink, Kertesz and Dorati - recordings and performances that certainly still stand the test of time today. See p.2 for details. The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage is a series that has been closely followed by many collectors over the past few years, especially since the Monteverdi Choir’s move from DG to the wonderful presentation of the SDG label. For those who have eagerly picked up every volume, the complete collection in a single box may be superfluous, but for anyone who has simply dabbled, or maybe not even tried, it is a real treat. Coming in at £149.95, it is also a great saving on the c.£500 value of the individual items (especially bearing in mind that several volumes have now been deleted). See p.3 for details. As we are rapidly running out of space, we will just mention a few other items quickly.
