Скачать или смотреть Pastorale in C (Dicks) (Pastor de Lasala, St Bede's Anglican Church, Drummoyne)

Pastor de Lasala OAM plays 'Pastorale in C' by Ernest Dicks on the rebuilt and modified 1907 Richardson organ of St Bede's Anglican Church, Drummoyne.

Ernest Alfred Dicks, FRCO (1865-1948) was for many years Organist and Choirmaster of St Luke's Church, Cheltenham, and Music Master at Montpelier Hall, Cheltenham.

The organ was recorded on 9 February 2024. Only the Great Organ was functional. The Swell had been disconnected many years ago, apparently because problems with the tubular pneumatic action resulted in an unfortunate time delay between the speech of the two manuals. The tuning book indicated that the organ had last been tuned in March 2008. In those circumstances, its performance in this recording is remarkable indeed.
