1981 Eisenbarth great organ at Passau Cathedral, Germany

Going On Record

What do a city auditorium in New Zealand, an historic church of in Manila, a Scandinavian university science project and the Tennessee Valley Arts Commission have in common? Each celebrates the art of the organ. This week we’ll savor performances from Christchurch Town Hall, the parish of Las Pinas in the Philippines, the Hamburg Baroque Organ Project of Gothenburg, Sweden and the Unitarian Church in Knoxville where pipe organs, old and new, excite the imagination with ear-intriguing sounds.

The proof is in the playing. Enjoy some sonically beguiling CD releases while we’re Going On Record with organ music in review.
