Five organists of the Victorian Age are at the centre of
focus of Number 6 of the series of “The Britannic Organ”
from the Museum of Mechanical Musical Instruments
in Seewen, Switzerland. In the entire history of
the Welte roll manufactory, no other national group
produced as many recordings as did British organists.
Amongst them were cathedral and town-hall organists
– educated and celebrated in Victorian England
– who stood by their traditions without compromise.
They were all still in top form when they made these
recordings.
