     I have recently acquired a new, delightful recording by
Lorraine Duisit and would like to pass this information along. 
The recording may be difficult to find in most music stores. 
Lorraine Duisit has released a cassette collection of hymns
dating from the 16th to the 20th century.  The accompaniment to
Lorraine's soprano vocals includes piano, organ, harp, bowed
psaltery, and hammer dulcimer, as well as tenor and alto vocals. 
Lorraine, with her husband Tom Espinola, have formed their own
recording label which may make this cassette hard to find.  (I
have seen copies at the House of Musical Traditions in Takoma
Park, MD).  If you want anymore information about this cassette
album, you can write to:
Creative Life Records, Route 1, Box 937, Washington, VA 22747.

I'm not so familiar with the authentic recordings of Dido and Aeneas. I know
Emma Kirkby's recording (Gardiner conducting?), and I like the singing,
though I feel it lacks some emotion. Perhaps Christie is better, I don't
know.

There are several good older recordings. Janet Baker's account on Decca is
legendary. Then there is Jessye Norman (Leppard conducting) on Philips. I 
really like this one. Vocally as well as emotionally it's on a high level. The 
only problem is that the stylus of my record-player can't reproduce the high 
and loud tones Jessye produces properly :-) You won't have this problem with a
cd however. Then there is Teresa Berganza on Erato; beautiful voice, but I
slightly prefer Norman.

Hi,

If Tom Knotts had read my follow-up article, he would have
found out that the Keyboard action of the organ is tracker.

I did not mention the stop-action. This will be electric.
I like electric stop action better than mechanical as it is
(usually) smoother and easier to pull out the stops, and
pistons and ventils can also be used.

Yes, I found it after I had posted. I had little doubt that a
Dutch builder would have done it any other way. I was just checking.

[End of quote]

Its good to see that more people are interested than just me!!

I'll try to answer your questions (as the organ is still under construction!):

Firstly, given the scale of the Great division, I would imagine that the Cornet III
stop on the Great would be comprised of a Nasard 2 2/3', Super Octave 2', and a Tierce
1 3/5' (or Tierz as is specified on the Swell). I would think also that these would
be all open pipes, but not necessary principal mutations, i.e. open flutes.

All of the ranks listed are independant, except for the Subbas 16' on the pedal which
will be mechanically borrowed from the Great Gedackt Pommer 16'. I should mention at
this stage that when Kurd Smenge built an organ for the University of Tasmania, and
they wanted an electric stop action, he needed help from the Dept. of Electrical
Engineering, as all his previous organs had been completely mechanical!! Thus, we
can safely assume that all ranks will be independant (unless he wants to do
mechanical extension...)

I wouldn't have a clue on the composition of the Sesquialtera II on the Ruckpositif -
It'll probably be flutes...

I'll push to get the Unterzatz 32' installed 8-). They'll probably do it themselves
after a few years anyway... I looked at the place where the organ will be placed (above
the West door) and they may be able to fit the Unterzatz 32' (16' stopped) without
bending them.

A Zinka is a small pedal reed, fairly rough and reedy, but not very loud (I think).


I'll get photo's when the organ is finished, scan them, and post the uuencoded GIFs to
the net. I'll also uuencode a sound file so that you all can hear what it sounds like.
I'll review the inaugural recital, and keep you all posted on any further developments.

I recently picked up a version directed by Christie on Harmonia Mundie

It got good reviews.  Sorry, my database doesn't list the orchestra or

Sorry if this duplicates something you've already posted. I'll admit I
haven't read all the posts in the subject of CD rot.

I had just purchased a top of the line Laserdisc Combi-Player for over
a grand when I discovered information about Laser rot. Horrified, I
called up Pioneer whose machine I had just purchased to get the facts.
The guy at customer relations couldn't help me very well, he knew
something about it, but he felt the supervisor could better explain it.

Apparently in the early days of laserdiscs (1978 or so is when I first
saw them go on sale), discs were manufactured with two chemical agents
that didn't react well together. The supervisor named these two 
ingredients by name, but I've forgotten what they were. Anyway, disks
haven't used those chemicals since way back then. I was told that any
discs I buy today won't rot, except if I happen to buy an older disc
from a dealer of used laserdiscs of course.

Laser rot is a black circlular formation that will appear on a disc
after continued use. Once it occurs it just starts growing and growing
everytime you play it. I have one disc in my collection I did buy from
a used laserdisc store. I bought it knowing it had early stages of
laser rot. The disc sounds horrible and is very fuzzy and crackles
terribly. The disc is "The Making of Star Wars". The only way to deal
with this problem is to watch it seldomly, and never pause it with the
picture on the screen. Or else the laser burn grows larger.

Joke or not... Laser rot did exist! but only in laserdiscs. CDs weren't
available in 1978. So you don't have to worry about CDs at all.

Hope this answers some questions.

There is no standard for this info on CD, but
I suppose there could be some discs that provide
this.

Each CD is stamped with a unique volume identifier
that can be used as a key to a database containing
track info. In fact, there's at least one software
cd player (from Tiger Media, Inc.) that uses just
such a database (although it is very simplistic and
not useful as a collection database).

I notice that the DCC standard coming later this year
includes specs for track titles, lyrics, etc. on the
DCC subcode. Supposedly, DCC licencees agree to provide
this info on DCC tapes they publish...
