Album Description
Ten volumes from JAV Recordings Documenting 11 unaltered Skinner and Aeolian-Skinner Organs (& six more planned). This CDs are part of a series documenting America’s premier organbuilder of the first half of the 20th century, the Skinner Organ Company and its successor firm Aeolian-Skinner. Each volume documents a different period in the company’s evolution. This is achieved through musical selections appropriate to the instrument; exemplary recorded sound; photographs of each organ and church; extensive notes, exploring both general company history and specific developments related to the organ in question; and detailed stoplists, including mixure compositions. In all 16 volumes of this series will be completed, documenting unaltered instruments from 1915 to 1954.
