One of the leading international virtuoso organists of his generation, D'Arcy has been described as "The Nureyev of organists"; his extraordinary pedal technique is famous. He will perform a typically varied, colourful and thrilling programme – including some works specifically to show off the remarkable Welte organ. 

The unique Welte organ, built in 1914 and recently restored to its full playing glory is housed in the splendid oak-panelled Victorian Science Theatre – an important and fascinating historic venue. 

The setting of this magnificent 36 acre estate is breathtaking; so arrive early to enjoy the views of the rolling parkland and lakes and take refreshments on the terrace. 

Why not book in for pre-concert supper?

ROFL ;D  That bad, eh?  In that case is the organ worth a listen?  I mean, one could confine a cat to the manuals and  would the instrument make a decent account for itself :o ??? ::)

I bring this up as the family cat would occasionally make its way onto the keys of the family piano from time to time... One had to remember to replace the key cover when that cat was in ;) ;) ;) or delight in the randomness!

The organ is, I believe, rather good. [Prejudicial comment removed]

Hi

I can't comment on the player - I've never heard him live, and it I have heard him on the radio, I've not really noticed.  However, the organ is well worth a listen - it's probably a unique example of a large house organ, complete with roll player, remaining in its original home, and recently restored.

What annoys me is that at one time I was a regular visitor to David Saloman's House (when it was owned & used by the NHS) and I never even realized that there was an organ on the premises.

I only wish it wasn't so far away!

Every Blessing
