Editorial Reviews
Review
'From his lifelong study of the nineteenth-century organ in Britain, Thistlethwaite distils the stuff of drama ... [he] joins the tiny band of seminal writers whose works are milestones in the continuing development of the art of the organ.' Peter Hurford
'The Making of the Victorian Organ is a must for everyone seriously interested in the organ, as well as for every expert. It is absolutely necessary reading for anyone in any way concerned with making decisions about organs of this period.' Musical Times
'A splendid new book ... Nicholas Thistlethwaite offers a comprehensive view of this distinctive instrument.' The American Organist
Book Description
Between 1820 and 1870 a number of influences combined to bring about a radical transformation in the design and use of English organs. This important book provides a comprehensive survey of English organ building during those innovative fifty years in its history. It is richly illustrated with photographs and specially drawn diagrams and contains an invaluable appendix of organ specifications. This is a documentary source book and history that will be indispensable for all those, professionals or amateurs, that have an interest in the organ.
