Music reviews of Glorious Pipes: Organ Music Through the Ages
Music Review: Beautiful music selections played on numerous organs by several organists
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a 2-CD set with 20 music selections. The music is splendidly performed by several different organists on equally as many different magnificent pipe organs in several cathedrals and music venues throughout the world. There are masterwork selections that will be familiar to anyone who has ever heard one of these grand organs play at concert and there are selections that are not so well known that are included (I assume) that display an organist's fine skills. The CD is certainly a good buy and I recommend it to anyone who loves pipe organ music played on the world's finest instruments.
There is one thing glaringly missing on this CD, and I cannot understand why the producers of this CD chose to omit it. The CD is a collection of numbers from several previously released organ CDs. The booklet narrative accompanying this CD goes into sufficient detail about the musical selection being played, the composer with given selection title and number, hints to the reader as to what outstanding passages in the selection to listen for, a substantial description of said passages, and the name of the organist performing (not listed in the narrataive, but listed following each selection on the title pages). BUT noplace in any of the literature or on the title page is the listener informed as to what organ is being played where. To me, this is a most critical omission. Not that I can identify one grand organ from another, being played by whomever, I cannot. But, I would love to know the organ being presented in all its splendor for each musical selection on the CD, and the cathedral or music venue home where the organ is located.
For this huge omission in information, I find that I must give this CD only 4 stars. It would certainly been a 5 star CD, if only for its value (a bargain for sure), for the wonderful presentations played, for the skills of the most accomlished organists, and for the magnificent music recorded, but not knowing the organ being demonstrated is to me a tragic omission.
