Todd Wilson – Murray M. Harris Organ (1911) (2021) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

The 25th anniversary of the installation of the 1911 Murray M. Harris organ at Saint James is the occasion for this double-album. Acclaimed recitalist Todd Wilson demonstrates the Harris organ’s exceptional range of colors and dynamics. Extensively restored and rebuilt in 1995, the Harris organ at Saint James shows why he is often called “the Father of Organ building in the West.” Harris built the instrument at St James. Todd Wilson’s substantial program demonstrates the full range of colors and dynamics of this instrument – in its first commercial recording.
