The 1994 Lively-Fulcher organ includes significant amounts of pipework from the church's original 1895 Carl Barckhoff. Two 16-foot choruses on the manuals, plus a solo division with Bombarde's and cornet, and a full pedal with two 32-foot stops provide the gravitas required by Liszt's organ works.
Head of the organ faculty at Peabody, Donald Sutherland is a Liszt expert, and renders this repertoire with drama and excitment. The addition of Lizst's Cujus animan (a transcription Rossini's Stabat mater) for trombone and organ is a delicious bonus. Generous acoustics put it all together in this superb recording.

The former Music Director of St Mary the Virgin plays a brilliant recital on the church's 1933 Aeolian-Skinner organ - one of the first instruments that could be described as an "American Classic" design. The organ was revised, with substantial changes in the number of divisions, by G. Donald Harrison in 1942. The highly reverberant acoustics of St Mary's enhance the organ's tonal pallet, which bears strong French Romantic influences.

Those interested in combination pipe/digital organs will be intrigued by this recording on the largest such combination in the world. The church's Casavant organ was severely damaged in the Northridge earthquake, and it was subsequently decided to re-use the salvagable pipework and combine it with electronic voices to provide an instrument with large tonal resources and flexibility. The result is an instrument of 151 ranks and 118 speaking stops.
Richard Morris has led an extraordinary career, having studied with Nadia Boulanger in France and Virgil Fox. He made his debut with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra at the age of twelve, is currently organist-in-residence at Spivey Hall in Atlanta.
