The Wanamaker organ in Philadelphia is the world’s largest functioning musical instrument, and this is the first recording of it restored to full playing condition in the last 30 years. Recorded in 24-bit technology–audiophile quality sound. Booklet contains pictures of the organ, an extensive and colorful history of the organ and its place in American musical society, and notes by the organist, as well as 13 pages of detailed organ specifications!

Summary: poor recording
Comment: I've just received a series of recordings on the organ and found all but one of them quite good recordings. This is the bad one!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Incredible...
Comment: This is my first exposure to Peter Conte or the Wanamaker organ. WOW - I can't believe what I've been missing all this time. Mr. Conte's playing is technically flawless & exhibits musicianship of the highest calibre. And the glorious sound of this organ, so well recorded here - nothing short of stupendous! I keep listening to track 9 - the Dupre "Resurrection" movement - over and over - it is more than stunning!! I can't wait to hear more of Peter Conte or this incredible organ! Thank you!

Summary: I guess I missed it.....
Comment: At the time of this writing there were 35 used 'The Wanamaker Legacy' cd's for sale. That speaks volumes for this cd......make it 36. Such a beautiful instrument wasted on such noise as recorded here.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Great Organ, played expertly.
Comment: The Wanamaker organ is one of the truly great organs of the
world. This CD does a masterful job of capturing its grandure.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wanamaker Organ NOT the biggest...
Comment: OK, if you want to get technical, it's the largest PLAYABLE organ but the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ (for which a restoration program has FINALLY begun) was and is the biggest at 7 manuals 33114 pipes; not to mention that its a unified organ meaning it has many more voices and range then the pipe count might let on. I say all this not to take away from the Wanamaker organ of which I'm also an aficionado, but just to set the record straight; for some reason the Atlantic City Organ is simultaneously the greatest and most neglected musical instrument in the world. If your unfamiliar with it, go to http://www.acchos.org/ and check it out.
Having gotten THAT out of my system, I must recommend this recording. Peter Conte is phenomonal, and the Wanamaker organ has not sounded better since Rodman Wanamaker was alive. Just buy it. Buy "Magic!" (the other Conte/Wanamaker Organ disc) while your at it; you won't be disappointed.
