Music reviews of Carillon Bells of Britain

Music Review: Rare chance to hear some interesting carillons
Rating: 4 Stars

This recording is an interesting document. In the first place, recordings of the carillon are pretty rare, and these particular carillons are certainly "individual" instruments. There are few carillonneurs (players of the carillon) in Great Britain, so most of these people are largely self-taught. The quality of the instruments varies greatly. The playing is OK, but the instrument doesn't really come off all that well. The Bournville carillon is musically a much more successful instrument, most of the bells being mid-1930s Gillett & Johnston. By that time, G&J had truly "arrived," and though the company went out of business in the 1950s, their carillons are still highly revered by carillonneurs internationally. The Bournville carillon is in a very open tower, however, so despite the fine bells, the sound is rather "raw." Trevor Workman is the best player of the lot. The finest set of bells, without a doubt, is the carillon of Saint Nicholas Church in Aberdeen, Scotland. This was the last G&J carillon, from 1952-54. (The second-to-last, at Culver Academies in Indiana - 1951 - is represented on four CDs I have recorded, and that are sold through Amazon.) These British recordings are re-masterings of analog LPs, and the sound is nothing stellar, but as a document of the instruments, it's worth having. There are better recordings, more representative of what a carillon can do, available, though.
