This album documents a recital given in February 1996 at Christ Church in Tacoma, Washington, and was remastered in November 2018.
Instruments
The Brombaugh organ's wind is regulated by a wedge bellows, which causes pressure to rise during loud passages, a positive benefit not available to older builders.
Interpretation
The recital program contrasts works by J.S. Bach with those of composers known to him, as the Brombaugh organ at Christ Church is well-suited to Bach's music.
Instruments
The John Brombaugh Organ Opus 22 at Christ Church in Tacoma, WA, was inspired by historic North German, Dutch, and English instruments, with a special amenity for Italian Principals.
Performer Biography
Roger W. Sherman, the organist on this recording, is the Associate Organist, Emeritus of Saint Mark's Cathedral in Seattle and has hosted the popular "Organ Loft" radio program for over 25 years.
Instruments
The Brombaugh organ features several reeds seldom seen in modern organs, including a Trumpet based on the Schnitger organ in Eenum, Holland, and a Krummhorn modeled after one by Gerhard von Holy.
