The Voice of Jupiter
The story of the Royal Albert Hall organ |
| Ian Bell |
| The towering façade
of the Royal Albert Hall organ is familiar to most
of us, but few have been privileged to discover – behind
the scenes – what
has made the instrument so famous. Ian Bell, consultant to the current restoration,
recounts the story from the first suggestion of an organ for the proposed Hall,
with detailed descriptions of the personalities and dramas surrounding each stage
of the organ’s history. Extensive photographs, drawings, pipe scales and
other technical details are included, together with previously unpublished proposals
by the organ-builders whose tenders were unsuccessful. Foreword by Sir Edward
Heath |
