• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Corno - I own a couple of Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) organ CDs. It's an instrument of breathtaking power. I'd love to hear it live one day. Thanks for the tip off on that website.

Cool Beans, Corno Dolce ...

Thanks for the links ... the only other recording I have of Liverpool is on LP - Noel Rawsthorne - recorded many many moons ago. When we get to England in a few years, that is definitely on my list of 'places to go' ... and of course, St. Pauls in London, too.

Hi CT64,

You bet! When I first heard Maestro Tracey in 1985 playing Vierne's 6th, Messiaen's L'Ascension, Bach's Passacaglia & Fugue and Reger's Symphonic Fantasy and Fugue Op.57 - man, I nearly died and went to heaven. I am crazy about the Willis machine in Liverpool - its in my top three favorite instruments category (Wanamaker, Cavaille-Coll In St. Sulpice, Willis In Liverpool).

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

Corno - if you ever get to Sydney - I'd love you to hear the Town Hall monster. You might put it on your list, too!?

Hi CT64,

I visited Sydney a few years back and got to hear the lovely machine in the Town Hall. I somewhat recently visited Melbourne Town Hall and heard that stunning gem in there.

Cheers,

Corno Dolce
