About
Edinburgh’s churches and concert halls are home to a rich variety of pipe organs. Open this book and step into a world of glorious architecture and fascinating history. In amongst these pages 22 of the city's most notable instruments are surveyed in full colour. Meanwhile 12 illustrious players, all with deeprooted Edinburgh connections, demonstrate the full range and versatility of these instruments on the four accompanying CDs. The full gamut of the repertoire is here, and Edinburgh's organs have the voices to match. Time to lift the veil from some of the closestguarded treasures of one of the world's great cities.
(Only 2,000 of these numbered hardback books will ever be produced. At the time of writing only 600 Copies remain commercially available.)
