The Organ
For years, theatre organ enthusiasts have revered George Wright's studio
organ as the ultimate recording instrument. Now, the sounds of this incredible
instrument are contained in this 4-manual, 33-rank George Wright Signature
Organ.
Dwight Beacham worked closely with George Wright in designing this
exciting instrument filled with digital samples taken from his own Hollywood
Philharmonic Recording Organ. George wanted to leave a legacy in sound
for future generations and he realized that the Allen Organ Company was
the logical choice. This instrument is not only the world's first
theatre organ to utilize Allen's revolutionary Renaissance™
technology, but the first to replicate an existing pipe organ. Renaissance™ brings
a new world of realism to digital organs.
Only one instrument combines the future of organ building with the
samples and voicing of the legendary George Wright.
The Music
As a longtime fan of George Wright's, it is no surprise to find Dwight
using many of George's musical mannerisms on this album. The opening
tune, I Know That You Know, is based on two recorded versions
that George Wright recorded, with a bit of Dwight's additions. All
the music was chosen to show off the organ's spectacular sound.
The Recording
This recording was made in a 22' x 24' "test" room at the Allen
Organ Company in Macungie, PA. No acoustic enhancement was used in post
recording processing. Allen's exclusive Virtual Acoustic™
system was used during the recording.
