Excellent, just excellent.......2007-02-06

3 Reasons why this CD is awesome:

1. The back cover blurb says "Hazleton is at home as both a church and theater organist." TRUE. Just when you're getting tired of the standard theater organ sound (overly vibrato, skating rink kind of shimmer) he throws in a piece like "The Lost Chord," which builds and builds and BUILDS, sounding like a monster church organ at the National Cathedral.

2. I always thought it would be cool to have a piece where every possible organ sound effect gets used. "The Stripper" has it all! It starts out with the tambourine and and shake bells, moves into the opening melody on a grand piano - which is linked to this Wurlitzer's keyboard [!], and before you're done he's thrown every sound effect you can think of -- even a siren! And IT WORKS! Amazing!

3. If you've ever been to an organ concert, you know half the fun is hearing the low frequency sonics of the really low pipes. The fidelity of this recording captures it! Turn it up and feel the rumble!

Really glad I got this. Highly recommended.

All i can say is "WOW!".......2002-09-12

I received my CD today. I have a THX system and the mighty organ kicks and kicks hard. You will feel like your at Radio City Music Hall even though this isn't the Music Halls organ except for the organ name. The stereo separation is great and if you have a subwoofer you'll get that great rumbling sound that you can only get from the mighty Wurlitzer but it isn't overpowering. I was really impressed with this CD and if your into theatre organ music,,,,this is the one to get. Trust me,,,,you won't be disappointed. IT KICKS.

What do you get when you take one of the most beautifull, largest organs of the world, in a place with great acoustics, fill it with the world's best organists?
Exactly! This CD!
The works of Robert Hebble alone are worth buying it. I'm astounded that he is so little known in the world of the organ. His composition "A Symphonie of Light" is such a fantastic work of art, it's serious, complex, it has mystique, it's radiant, exuberant. Well I just love it!
This CD is VERY good, the recording also is pretty good, but you only get a distorted view of distances. That still makes it worthwile!

A must for any organ-collection.......2001-03-08

This is an impeccably recorded CD. Perfect balance of organ and audience applause--there is little indication of it being a LIVE recording, except for the applause. The performances are awesome. Tom Hazleton's theatre-organ influences can be heard in his interpretation of Bach's T & F in d-minor. As flamboyant as Fox himself would have played it. The concert ends with F. Swann playing an emotional Come, Sweet Death with 20 tolls of the great bell (20 years since Fox's death). He then leads the attendees in O God, Our Help in Ages Past. Splendid singing by what must be an audience of musicians, and fantastic hymn-playing as only Swann can do on the great 5-manual Riverside organ--utilizing all of its vast resources in the final 'amen'.

Marvelous combination of different types of organ music.......2000-09-07

Tom Hazleton brings us all into the world of classical organ and theatre organ by a benefit concert for the Kentucky Theatre's Wurlitzer Organ restoration. He gives us a different view of classical organ by playing the "Sortie in E flat" (Lefebure-Wely) - it surely sounds "like a calliope piece"! His musical style portrays that organ music is actually fun to listen to! Many effects, percussions, and powerful melodic and pedal voices add to the well chosen program. A must for potential organ lovers!

Primitive gem of lost Americana.......2006-03-03

Eddie "One String" Jones was discovered in LA's Skid Row carrying a instrument made from a 2x4 plank, a single broom wire, bottles and a paint bucket. The instrument was unmistakably a 'diddley bow,' the fabled one-string instrument played by poor children in the South.

But Eddie wasn't a child...and he wasn't anywhere near the Mississippi Delta. He was an eccentric musician who played his diddley bow with passion and precision. He really believed he was a major musician (read the liner notes to the cd...they're very detailed about the experience) and his playing proved him right.

It's one thing to play slide guitar using frets and position markers to guide your slide hand. It's another to play incredible tunes on a 2x4 with broom wire. Eddie "One String" Jones should be classified as a slide guitar legend because of his pitch and skill. His slide hand (he used a whisky bottle as a slide) hits each note perfectly.

I love this cd and have let many many friends borrow it. If you like slide guitar, blues, O Brother Where Art Thou music or anything labeled "outsider music," then you'll want to get this disc. You'll thank me later.
