The Organ in Recorded Sound: History, Sources, Performance Practice

• “The Organ in Recorded Sound: An Exploration of Timbre and Tempo,” was a three-day conference held at the School of Music at Arizona State University January 11–13, 2002. A number of scholars, musicians and recording experts presented research concerning the history of organ recordings in an attempt to document this legacy of sound and to uncover avenues for further investigation. The conference also marked the availability online of an impressive database of organ recordings that is being compiled and maintained by the Göteborg Organ Art Center (GOArt) at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The database exists to facilitate locating organ recordings, so that these resources may befully exploited by those researching organ history and performance. The study of organ recordings is a pioneering discipline comprising various strands that bring together different groups: organists, of course, but also sound engineers, audiophiles and musicologists. The contributors to these proceedings reflect these interrelated fields in their articles, drawing upon organological and discographic information and situating this within particular historical and aesthetic contexts.
