4:18 Very interesting to know that Cochereau wasn't planning on completely discarding the original "Choeur de Bassons" of the Grand-Orgue. Instead swapping the reeds of the Solo and Grand-Orgue. For those who don't know, the current Grand-Orgue reeds used to be on the Solo and the Grand-Orgue had Bassons at 16' 8' 4'. However, it seems the Plein Jeu of the Solo has taken priority over the Bassons. And so a new space had to be sought or maybe funds were drying up. I wonder if he had something similar planned for other original stops such as the 8' Viole de Gambe of the Grand-Orgue as well.

Peter was in the Hull City Organist and my music teacher at Kingston High School, Hull in the early 1970’s and inspired me greatly to take up and appreciate the organ. He also gave me access to the City Hall Organ for which I will ever be grateful to him for. When I left School I kept in touch with him and his wife, Mary, an eminent Violinist and teacher and I became a friend of the family. He was responsible for the rebuilding of the City Hall Organ by Rushworth & Dreaper of Liverpool in the early 1980’s. He moved to Spain in the mid 1980’s until his death some years later. One of Hull’s legendary musicians and of whom I will always have the deepest respect and appreciation.

I bought this on cassette tape from the stall in the Bavokerk circa 1993. I digitised the taoe a couple of years ago but it's still on my in-tray to be denoised and split into tracks etc. Great to see it on here!

Just spotted that the album is on Spotify now (I searched 'Piet Kee Bavo'), and presumably on other streaming providers. That probably means I won't get around to denoising my tape!

St Erkenwald Southend closed not long after this recording was made. The organ was transferred to St Martin of Tours, Basildon. The Fanfare, March & Fugue was composed by Raymond Sunderland for the reopening of the organ after its major rebuild in 1967-68. It was played at that service by Conrad Eden. It was also played at Raymond Sunderland's funeral - he died early on Christmas morning 1977 at the organ after playing for the midnight mass. He was a fine musician and much loved gentleman - I was an 11 year old boy chorister at the Priory at that time and remember it vividly.

It must be felt , after studying the music. Only then can you perform in this "personal" sense. A naturally brilliant musician, there are not many.. C.Thors-Smith . Australia.

The placing and timing of each chord and note is masterful and I remember this is what he taught me all those years ago at the RCM 1979-83. I remember him so vividly and with the highest respect.

This is really interesting music. I did not know the organ music of Franz Schmidt until I heard this! His and Pach’s music sounds to me like Sebastian Bach with an advanced chromatic language. Whatever became of the Hill, Norman & Beard neoclassical organ heard here? I know that Lady Jeans’ home was demolished--when, I do not know. Do you have any other re rings by Lady Jeans?

The baroque organ was removed by Nicholson's for installation at the Birmingham Conservatoire. As far as I remember it was in 1993, but I may be wrong. I do know Lady Susie died in that year. Royal School of Church Music left the house and it was purchased for development but no idea if demolished Must have been wonderful to have played it.

@@vulgivagu From what I've read, Cleveland Lodge was bequeathed to the RSCM by Susi in 1993. (prior to this the RSCM had been at Addington Palace for many years). National Lottery funding was applied for successfully and was used to restore the property. However, the RSCM decided in 2005? to raise funds by selling the site to a developer. The RSCM then moved to Sarum College, Salisbury and the developer subsequently demolished Cleveland Lodge. I feel this is somewhat sad, and reprehensible on the part of the RSCM. I'm glad the classical baroque style organ has survived (The first of its kind in the UK) although there was another organ, a Willis that was in the house when the Jeans' moved there, so I understand. I don't know what became of that or her many other instruments eg Pedal Harpsichords. Many famous organists and keyboard players were taught in her summer schools held there e.g. George Guest, Peter Hurford, David Lumsden.

This is a reminder of the precise stereo produced by the BBC up to the early 1980s when they moved from using co-incident directional microphones (in the RFH usually AKG C24s set to figure of 8 patterns and later C414s) to spaced omni-directional microphones. It is also a reminder of what a superb player Ralph Downes was. Great to hear, also, the voice of Felix Aprahamian, writer of so many informative programme notes and someone who made such a contribution to London's musical life in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1970s BBC Radio 3 frequently broadcast live symphony concerts from the RFH on Wednesday evenings, and since the microphones were in place and technical team present, broadcast the 5pm Organ Recital live also. I attended many of these recitals and came to know which organists registered using their ears and which by formula. Great days.

I also have the complete details of the 3 organs involved as specified by Walker Organs with the history of the original organ from 1887 which was built by Gray and Davidson Ltd to the specification of W.H. Vipond Barry who was the organist at this church for 54 years. I can send a pic if you want.
