• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Early music on early organs

Hi, for those interested in less well known organ music from about 1700 through to early 1800s played on 6 restored instruments of similar vintage, I can recommend The English organ anthology, 5 CDs covering organs from 1693 to 1837 and 18 composers from William Croft 1678-1727 to Samuel Wesley 1766 - 1837, including Handel and John Stanley. Performer is Jennifer Bate.

For a track listing see:

These look like nice sets to own ... and Jennifer Bate is certainly a wonderful performer. I'll have to look into getting these - I also like playing these lesser known compositions, too.

Yesterday, I 'dug out' one of my old LPs and enjoyed hearing Michel Chapuis playing music by Louis Marchand on the 1782 Clicquot Organ at Souvigny. Old though the recording is, the sound quality is superb having endured well over the years. I suppose the recording has been re-mastered and reissued on CD now,but it will have been difficult to improve the impact the organ sound has. Nevertheless if any expert collector knows of such a reissue, I'd be glad to know.
