The organ heard in this recording was, at the time of recording, the magnum opus of Dirk Flentrop.  Delivered in 1965, it served as a catalyst for the organ reform movement in the Pacific Northwest, a region now literally resounding with modern tracker instruments.  The organ has 55 sounding stops and 76 ranks played by mechanical (tracker) key action and electric slider stop action.  The casework is made of solid African mahogany and stands approximately 45 feet high in the choir loft.

 

Recorded on July 31 and August 1, 1981, and initially released on LP in 1981 by Wilson Audio.  


LP can be autographed by the artist if desired.
