Inaugural Concert on the Guards’ Chapel Harrison & Harrison

[Guards’ Chapel’s new Harrison & Harrison]

Today a goodly number of people descended upon the Guards’ Chapel in London, where Harrison & Harrison recently completed one of the most imaginative organs they’ve designed for many years.  A fine composite recital displayed it admirably and showed that it could both fill the chapel with sound yet also enchant with a wide palette of delightful softer colours.  A notable success.

The HN&B ‘Trompeta’ remains, but mute (taking it down would have been too costly); its photo here is therefore in memoriam.
