Bill,

What a marvelous performance on an equally marvelous instrument.

Here's some info on the Rochdale Town Hall and some history of the Binns Organ builder albeit this description is about the Albert Hall organ, the one at Rochdale is of identical specification.

I'm eagerly wait for our humble and very talented Lars to put some Lemare transcriptions up on YouTube for our delight!!

David,

Thank you kindly for the accolades ... unfortunately, I don't have the organ resources at my disposal to play such splendid pieces - 9 ranks, no divisional pistons, and no acoustics either

Right now I don't even have the church organ to play - some of the pouch rails were removed for repair after water leaked into the chest after a torrential rain storm in early July.

I love the Lemare transcriptions, though.

Lars - I'm so sorry to hear that, it sounds just awful. Please come to Australian one day, and I'll introduce you to my friend Robert Ampt ... he'll let you play his baby (see my avatar to figure out which organ I'm referring). David

Lemares work on the Tannhauser and especially the Meistersinger are so satisfying - Its as if Wagner could had written them for organ.
