WOW...I am in AWE, BRAVO Mr Hovencamp...To describe that ORGAN as impressive would be an understatement...

Interesting to listen to this recital. I am more than curious to know what Robert thoughts are on this Dobson organ. I am equally curious what other organ builders, especially Casavant Frères, Quimby Pipe Organs or Marshall & Ogletree would have done with this construction and how different it might have been. It is one thing to listen in person to hear the full acoustics as opposed to a recording. It is an interesting instrument but it never grabbed my complete attention as something spectacular.

I'm very fond of this instrument, and I think Dobson did a terrific job on it. It fills the enormous room perfectly, has everything an organist can possibly want, and the en Chamade trumpets are spectacular.

On which weekdays is the noon recital performed at the L.A. Cathedral? I would like to attend.

[@roberthovencamp]

Most Wednesdays right after the 12:10 mass.
