Paul Morris CDs of 21-rank Aeolian Duo-Art Organ
By James Williams
I am writing to let you know that I sent for and received the four CDs
that are offered by Paul Morris in England of his Aeolian Duo-Art player
pipe organ. The selections on the CDs are very good and all are
enjoyable to listen to. The CD and the printed notes are nicely put
together, with lots of interesting information about the Aeolian organ
and also pictures of Paul Morris and the Aeolian console, pipe chamber
and phonographs.
The quality of the Aeolian organists is so nice to appreciate. It must
have been a special joy to the original owner of this organ to have it
perform such wonderful music in their home. Now after all of the
passing years it has been restored to its original ability to thrill
new audiences in this time with the great organ performances of the
Aeolian library of music.
May I also tell you that Paul Morris is an organist of the first
quality. His performances are of music found on Edison recordings --
the same music but played superbly on the Aeolian pipe organ. The
Blue Amberola series of recordings he has begun will be greatly enjoyed
by all who purchase them from him. They are very recommendable to all
who enjoy pipe organ music wonderfully played. You will be glad that
you have these fine recordings to enjoy also. Paul Morris is to be
thanked for sharing his considerable talent as an organ rebuilder and
a wonderful and gifted organist.
Best wishes to all and Happy Holidays.
James Williams
