STENTOR ORGAN

Manual VI

 

The Stentor Division was intended to be a large manual and pedal division consisting of high-pressure diapasons and reeds.  It was to be installed on the fifth floor above the String organ but was never realized. The Stentor keyboard is in operation and all floating divisions and percussion instruments can be played from it.  In addition, several important solo voices are now available independantly on the Stentor Manual, using some of the previously blank Stentor stop tabs.

Christmas in the Grand Tradition, The Wanamaker Organ, Peter Conte & Philadelphia Brass A Grand Celebration - The Philadelphia Orchestra live with the Wanamaker Organ & Peter Conte Wanamaker Centennial Concert
Christmas carols on a grand scale!  Under the dazzling fingers of organist Peter Richard Conte, the world's largest musical instrument teams up with Philadelphia Brass in this program of Christmas favorites.  A sonic spectacular! After a wait of over eighty years, the vast tonal palette of The Philadelphia Orchestra is joined, once more, with the world’s greatest symphonic pipe organ for this historic concert! Recorded live, September 27, 2008. Includes Joseph Jongen's Symphonie concertante, which was commissioned for the Wanamaker organ and the Philadelphia Orchestra in the 1920's, but never performed together until this "Grand Celebration". Recorded live at the concert marking The Wanamaker Organ Centennial, Peter Conte and Symphony in C play large-scale works for organ and orchestra.
My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice
The lyrical, soulful sound of the flugelhorn is paired with the orchestral rich colors of the Wanamaker organ in this beautiful recording. Popular melodies abound, from the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" theme to Debussy's "Clair de Lune."
