Wagner & Cavaillé-Coll
padWagner is played by Christoph Kuhlmann on the Cavaillé-Coll located in Iglesia del Salvador, Usurbil, recreating a musical soirée of the times when this very organ was located in the home of the Albert Baron de l’Espée, a great Wagner enthusiast. Moved to the church after the Baron's death, the 2-30 was completed in 1907 by Merklin for Cavaillé-Coll’s famous sponsor. (The Baron also owned the organ now in Sacré-Coeur in Paris).

Austin Organs by Orpha Ochse
padThe Austin Organ Company reopened for business on Thursday, May 5, 2005, after having closed its doors on Monday, March 7, 2005. What was thought to have been an end to more than a century of organbuilding may now be the herald of a new beginning! This book published by OHS chronicles the firm through 1999.
More than the history of one firm, this book is a history of the American organ in the 20th century! writes historian Barbara Owen.
In 640 lavishly illustrated pages, author Orpha Ochse writes the first complete history of 20th-century America's premier organbuilder to "carriage trade" churches and institutions. Scores of major musicians had an Austin organ central in their creative lives, including Leo Sowerby and Edwin Lemare. The genius and innovation of John and Basil Austin are examined along with other key organ builders and examples of organs in each decade of the firm's existence. Austin’s great municipal organs of the 1910s and 1920s, exuberant expressions of civic pride, still thrill audiences with majestic tuttis, and rainbows of contrasting tone colors and are carefully discussed.
