Rojo, you asked me in the New Members forum if we get much classical music in Eugene, and I had already answered you there, but Today! I can share some new information with you and everyone reading this. Today, as part of the Oregon Bach Festival, Dr. Julia Brown played a concert on a Brombaugh (tracker) organ. The organ builder was in the audience, too. She just happens to be living in Eugene as director of music at one of the bigger churches. It was a wonderful concert and she chose some very interesting music. In case anyone's interested, there's a website with some info about her: http://www.naxos.com/artistinfo/1200.htm
Also bought a couple CDs by her -- but Frederik, I like your interpretation of Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor much better! Some of the interesting composers on one of her CDs are: Vierne, Tournemire, Fletcher, Lefebure-Wely, Enzo Pace, Ferreyra.
And! I got to talk quite a while with the organ builder, Mr. Brombaugh himself. Retired now, but says he has quite a few of his organs in Europe. Silly me forgot to bring my camera; it's a pretty organ display! I asked if there is any documentation on his organs (figuring one of you will ask) and he just grinned and said, "none."!!! my jaw dropped.
