Notes & Reviews:

This first volume (the first of a longer series) presents various recordings of the Seewen Britannic Organ, which was built for the ocean liner Britannic, sister ship of the Titanic. Organist Donald Rumsey, who has known this instrument for years, makes the organ's many diverse and characteristic registers resound. In addition, rolls from the historic Welte catalog, punched by hand, can be heard, as well as some of the oldest recordings of historic organists. The Welte Philharmonie Organ was used as a type of recording device. This made it possible to preserve interpretations from the beginning of the 20th century, before any acoustic or magnetic recording methods were available.
