Live Prom 2 Jonathan Scott Organ Recital

[jonfan]

Except that it was Mander Organs who did the restoration.

Terrible assumption on my part, really sorry, ‘a little knowledge ....’ and all that. The superb state of the instrument is a fitting memorial to the firm, as I believe, and I think I’m right this time, Mander Organs have recently ceased trading.

The RAH Organ, Wren's 'Confounded box of whistles', is a graveyard for organ-grinders.

...but their name liveth...

F.H.Browne & Sons Ltd of Canterbury, est. 1871, has acquired the name and intellectual property of Mander Organs. MD Stephen Bayley and two of his colleagues are ex-Mander members of staff, so a good degree of continuity is assured, establishing a new chapter in the life and history of Mander Organs. More information can be gleaned from the Mander Organs website at mander-organs.com. (Adapted from John Pike Mander’s announcement on Fb.)

Very good IMVVHO

Agreed, granted that I had to keep in mind constantly that these are transcriptions for organ. Even the Saint-Saens just for organ alone worked much better than I expected. Even just from listening on iPlayer, JS is a very engaging chap, in addition to being an excellent musician.
