This spectacular 3-CD set allows us to revel in the incomparable artistry of Quentin Maclean as well as one of the very greatest British cinemas, The Regal Cinema, Marble Arch, complete with 32-bell Carillon in its tower, playable from the organ! The transfer to CD of these recordings, made 1929-30, yields a remarkably vibrant sound. The wonderful 70-page booklet tells us all about the theatre and its fabulous 4m Christie organ, complete with pictures of the chambers, the Christie factory, and engineering drawings. Dismantled in 1964, the organ remains professionally packed and available for reinstallation, somewhere. A set not to be missed by all theatre organ lovers.
