Memorial Organ at the Collegedale Church of Southern Adventist University in Tennessee. Guest Dutch recitalist Sietze de Vries explored the varied sonic possibilities of John Brombaugh’s magnum opus tracker-action instrument from 1986 (with 70 stops, 108 ranks, and 4861 individual pipes). Gennevieve Brown-Kibble directed the campus choir and congregation in lusty song, to which Mr. de Vries provided imaginative improvised accompaniments and interpolations. Both George Ritchie (Raven CD-400) and Wolfgang Rübsam (Naxos CD-8.553135) have recorded all-Bach albums featuring the Collegedale Brombaugh organ.
This ENCORE broadcast first aired during the week of January 19, 2009.
You can further your understanding of the organ in the Collegedale Church by listening to a program devoted to performances recorded during the instrument/s inauguration in 1986 (Tennessee Tracker #8633).
