Presented here is a vintage 1957 audiophile recording that demonstrates Lovelace's considerable skill at the organ. Dr. Lovelace chose a varied program of serious organ music, including compositions from the Baroque and the Modern eras. Located in the Sanctuary of the First Methodist Church of Evanston, Illinois, the organ heard in these recordings was entirely rebuilt in 1954 by its maker, Austin Organ, inc., to combine the chorus work and mutations typical of older construction with the solo stops characteristic of modern organ building. The selections demonstrate amply both the tonal quality and range of the organ and the vividness of stereophonic recording, which was a completely new development at the time. All selections newly remastered.This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.« less
