RICHARD MORRIS AT BEL AIR PRESBYTERIAN, Los Angeles
World's Largest Digital/Pipe Combination Organ
Richard Morris, organist 

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.
