Скачать или смотреть KENNETH TICKELL Organ in St Gabriel’s Catholic Church, Middlesbrough

This 1989 Kenneth Tickell organ at St Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Middlesbrough is still fairly modern. Honestly, I’m not a big fan of this contemporary style. The voicing doesn’t really speak to me, and the key feel doesn’t quite click either, though I have to say the instrument looks strikingly clean and sharp, and it seems very reliable in action.
Built by Kenneth Tickell & Company in Northampton, it benefits hugely from the church’s wonderful acoustics. The open plan layout lets the sound travel freely and fill the whole space effortlessly. The tracker action is crisp, responsive, and clearly well designed.
That said, I’d love to see a dedicated pedal stop and a swell pedal for more colour and control. Still, it’s a very impressive instrument in its own right, and I’m really grateful to Fr James for letting me spend some time with it.
If modern style organs are your thing then you would love this, but give me a Victorian monster any day of the week!
