Run at more than twice the speed of normal tape—both wider and thicker—35mm allowed for greater dynamics. An expensive recording process, it was of great interest to audiophiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe and Command decided to tackle \"the biggest and most beautiful of them all,\" the behemoth in the Grand Court of the John Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia. Thus, in 1964, he made his historic recording on the Wanamaker Organ. On the 40th anniversary of its original LP release, it is reproduced here in all its CD 2.0 Stereo and DVD 5.1 Surround Sound glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarshall Yaeger has used the Kaleidoplex™ Digital Light Organ to create \"digital collages\" that reflect the glory of the music and the organ in the Wanamaker portion of the DVD-Video. They include photos of Virgil Fox in \"Heavy Organ,\" the interior of the Grand Court, and a full platter of 16:9 widescreen digital delights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD\/DVD Wanamaker Organ | 40 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFanfares from Parsifal | Richard Wagner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarillon de Westminster | Louis Vierne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCome, Sweet Death | Johann Sebastian Bach\/Fox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThou Art the Rock | Henri Mulet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePomp and Circumstance, March No. 1 | Sir Edward Elgar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNocturne from Shylock | Gabriel Fauré\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiebestod from Tristan und Isolde | Richard Wagner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDVD Bonuses | 41 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Evening Magazine\" | KYW-TV 3 Group W, 1979, Wanamaker Organ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"La Belle Époque\" | Camera Three, WCBS-TV, 1970, Rodgers Touring Organ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Belle Époque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1970, WCBS-TV videotaped Virgil Fox in a 30 minute Camera Three program, \"La Belle Époque,\" which was broadcast only once. The producer was Merrill Brockway. The writer, Stephan Chodorov, has given SEEMUSICDVD permission to include it as a bonus DVD track. Chodorov had given it to the Museum of Television and Radio, where it was recently discovered. It is a treasure, and includes \"Fanfare\" by Harry Rowe Shelley, \"Marche Religieuse\" by Alexandre Guilmant, \"Variations on 'America'\" by Charles Ives, and \"Pomp and Circumstance, March No. 1\" by Sir Edward Elgar—an ideal program from the turn of the century, when the Wanamaker Organ was created. The video includes Fox—in a purple velvet suit with gold lace at the collar and cuffs—speaking about and performing the music. It is a must for those who have asked for a video of Fox, and the only one of studio quality to exist. There will never be another. Nor will there ever be another Virgil Fox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC) \u0026amp; For CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"SeeMusicDVD Kaleidoplex™ Collection","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":50221099057430,"sku":"118745","price":18.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202574131412329scan.jpg?v=1751943943","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/virgil-fox-plays-the-wanamaker-grand-court-organ-philadelphia-2-disc-set","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
