I happened to live in Oxford during the installation of the Dobson organ at Merton College where I often attended Evensong. I can assure all who might chance on this comment that the sound of that organ entirely took over my listening and has become the organ of choice for me to hear and occasionally revisit. The sound is so distinctive as to be, can one say this?, unique. Wonderful clarity, breadth and depth ... one can go on but I shall not. Sydney, leave alone St James's, is in for a treat.
This is what every church needs. Thank you for making this great investment for sacred clasdical music, which will pay off for many generations to come.
Here in Philadelphia in the USA, we are proud to have Dobson op 76, which is the largest mechanical action concert hall organ in the world. The instrument is located in the Kimmel Center, home of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Philadelphians are now treated to the non-liturgical repertoire of the organ.
So wonderful! God bless the leaders of St. James for having a world class vision.
Cant wait to hear it

I can hardly put my excitement into words

It would have been nice if a link had been provided to the specification (stop list) of this organ.
Google “Dobson Op. 99.” I tried to post the link but TH-cam won’t let me.
Whst is the piece being played?
