This wonderful! Do you have broadcasts of the great Arnold Richardson? His Argo discs are well-known, but it would be nice to hear more varied examples of repertoire, such as Bach. Thank you in advance.
This is really interesting music. I did not know the organ music of Franz Schmidt until I heard this! His and Pach’s music sounds to me like Sebastian Bach with an advanced chromatic language. Whatever became of the Hill, Norman & Beard neoclassical organ heard here? I know that Lady Jeans’ home was demolished--when, I do not know. Do you have any other re rings by Lady Jeans?
The baroque organ was removed by Nicholson's for installation at the Birmingham Conservatoire. As far as I remember it was in 1993, but I may be wrong. I do know Lady Susie died in that year. Royal School of Church Music left the house and it was purchased for development but no idea if demolished Must have been wonderful to have played it.
@@vulgivagu From what I've read, Cleveland Lodge was bequeathed to the RSCM by Susi in 1993. (prior to this the RSCM had been at Addington Palace for many years). National Lottery funding was applied for successfully and was used to restore the property. However, the RSCM decided in 2005? to raise funds by selling the site to a developer. The RSCM then moved to Sarum College, Salisbury and the developer subsequently demolished Cleveland Lodge. I feel this is somewhat sad, and reprehensible on the part of the RSCM. I'm glad the classical baroque style organ has survived (The first of its kind in the UK) although there was another organ, a Willis that was in the house when the Jeans' moved there, so I understand. I don't know what became of that or her many other instruments eg Pedal Harpsichords. Many famous organists and keyboard players were taught in her summer schools held there e.g. George Guest, Peter Hurford, David Lumsden.
