Here are some organ recordings: Two on Harmonia Mundi France, played by John Butt: JS Bach Triosonatas (907055) - unidentified Well-tempered tuning J Cabanilles (907047) - 1/4-comma meantone The complete organ works of Buxtehude played by Harald Vogel feature historical organs, most in historic tunings. vol. 7 has a modified 1/5-comma meantone, including a technical description of that system. (Dabringhaus und Grimm MD+G L 3427) Two recordings of the Fisk organ at Wellesley college, in 1/4-comma meantone: JD Christie, works of JP Sweelinck - Naxos 8.550904 (budget - a bargain!) B Lagace, various composers - Titanic Ti-207 Here's one a a restored historic Mexican organ, temperament described as "8 just thirds" - so likely 1/4-comma meantone: Dominique Ferran, organ at Tlacochahuaya: K 617 AFAA K 617049 Most of these would be available from the Organ Historical Society: PO Box 26811 Richmond VA 23261 tel 804 353 9226 fax 804 353 9266 There are many others - tell them what you're looking for and I'm sure they'll be glad to help you. - Tim Tikker Received: from eartha.mills.edu [144.91.3.20] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Sat, 24 Feb 1996 08:20 +0100 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id XAA04537; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 23:19:31 -0800 Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 23:19:31 -0800 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
