C.B. Fisk Opus 116
Performance of Charles Tournemire, L'orgue mystique: Easter Cycle, Op. 56: No. 24, by J. Melvin Butler at the Fisk organ of Finney Chapel, Oberlin College.
This
unusual recording features the new Aristide Cavaillé-Coll-style Fisk
organ as it sounds in Finney Chapel at Oberlin College, and also as it
might sound if it were in Chartres Cathedral. New recording
technology makes it possible to create a mathematical model of a
room's acoustics from measurements taken in the room itself. With
sufficient computing power, a program can then place any sound (in
this case, the sound of the Fisk organ at Oberlin) in the modelled
acoustics.
