When this recording was conceived, my desire was to show the versatility of the Fisk organ in St. Paul’s, Greenville, The Perkins & Wells Memorial Organ. Such is the personality of the organ that it is affectionately known as “The Duchess.” While this album certainly makes a generous bow to the French Symphonic “DNA” of this organ, it also affords listeners an opportunity to enjoy the instrument’s ability to interpret a wide variety of literature. The Tuba mirabilis of Opus 126 is singularly exciting among such stops that I have heard anywhere in the United States; it is showcased in John Cook’s Fanfare. Thanks to the expressive lyricism of Opus 126’s color stops, such as the amply voiced flute cornet combination on the Positiv division and the various reeds on each division, even the classical French literature succeeds brilliantly here. It is my hope that you will find “The Duchess” to be as dazzling an organ as do I.
