Review
"I don't believe any single purchase would be a better introduction to the pipe organ ....." -- Michael Alan Fox in The Absolute Sound, December 2001/January, 2002
Product Description
Yale University has twin treasures embodied in the world-renowned Newberry Memorial Organ and the resonant acoustics of the organ's home, Woolsey Hall.
This documentary consists of two CDs and a 72-page book with a photo essay and numerous articles on the Newberry Organ.
Disc One is a lecture with musical demonstrations of different organ stops and divisions of the Newberry Organ; the second disc is an organ concert recorded live. All performances are by Professor Thomas Murray, Professor of Music and University Organist at Yale.
The music on these discs is widely varied to demonstrate the almost limitless tonal colors Professor Murray can achieve with this instrument. The massive earth-shaking thunder of the Newberry Organ is unleashed in the Reger Introduction & Passacaglia in d minor. The wide dynamic range of this instrument is heard in the Reger Benedictus by means of Professor Murray's masterful manipulation of the organ through a terrific crescendo to the full organ and back down to a hushed whisper.
Paul Hindemith's Sonata is treated in a symphonic manner with warmth and varied colors not found in the typical performance of the piece. The Procession of Nobles is a grand march with heralded trumpeting on the numerous high-pressure reeds on the organ.
Professor Murray exudes musicianship with each note and the Newberry Organ responds, giving him a rich color palette of sound found in very few other places in the world.
