The Romantic Concert Organ

Playing his own transcriptions of Elgar and Grieg, as well as Lemare’s of Elgar and Murrill’s of Walton, Thomas Heywood welcomes to its new home a 1909 Albert Keates organ transported from England to Germany and restored by Förster & Nicolaus. In an excellent acoustic, the moderately sized instrument proves itself to be a fine partner to the music. Interestingly, the organ boasts a “Swell Reeds to Great” coupler allowing its five (!) Swell reeds to be employed in very interesting and expressive textures.
