They talk about THE MIGHTY WURLITZERS but I reckon that the Compton Organs especially with the Mellotone are a far superior sounding organ.

A brilliant performance, as always from Richard Hills! Question: What are the two levers / indicators in the centre of the top row of stop tabs? Air pressure indicators?

@andrewanderson5048 17 күн бұрын

They're the swell indicators - they represent the position of the two main swell shoes (controlled by Richard's right foot) and, therefore, how far open (or closed) the swell shutters are in front of the pipe chambers. The left hand one is for the main chamber(s) and the right is for the solo. These are the primary way - other than registration changes - to control the volume of the Wurlitzer.

April 7, 2024 Mr. Hills came to our small, Northern California town that dates to the 1849 Gold Rush. He played to a crowd of about 200 an amazing assortment of music. He returned to the console for a grand Encore tune or two. Following that he responded to the group that was chanting More, More and he did this time with and amazing rendition of Tiger Rag all on an organ that he saw two days before ! To Mr. Hills, Thanks so much for the concert and signing one of the organ pipes that I am building ! And thanks to to Walt Strony who made it all happen !

I remember back in the 70s David Shepherd doing a concert at the Marsden Green Hospital on the 3/10 Compton.

I saw Simon at the Victoria Hall, Hanley in the early '90s playing the Conacher Concert organ there which had been rebuilt in 1988 by Hill, Norman & Beard. Does he only play cinema organs these days?

Really enjoyed that - Great performance - great variation in registrations throughout which keeps it interesting - plus accuracy of the notes is clear and concises. It’s also great that the sound isn’t too dry - makes for a very pleasurable listen! Well done.

He plays exquisitely…….as if singing it in his head he takes the mechanical sound out of the machine. So smooth, and clear, he rates up there with Mike Reed now deceased.

Thank you so much for providing this superb example of the incredible talent of Richard Hills, and the beautiful installation at the Troxy. My wife and I had the pleasure of hearing Richard at the Troxy in 2017, and the present video’s high quality allows us to better savor those wonderful memories. As an amateur organist, it’s always a treat to watch Richard play, with the frequent piston changes flowing smoothly and seemingly effortlessly under his command. We look forward to his performance this summer at the Sanfilippo Estate.

It is as though Quentin Maclean has come back! Richard Hills is more than capable, yet understands measure and phrasing, which gives further extension toward the huge palette that an instrument such as this can give. Not from any mere random selection was he was expressly chosen to perform at the Royal Albert Hall Father Willis organ in a special Sunday afternoon recital a decade ago. A pity we can't get to hear the Compton 'in-concert' at the Hammersmith Gaumont (Odeon/Apollo venue) beyond the one short clip that was uploaded some years ago with Richard at the keys.

@johnloud5673 Жыл бұрын

Yes, it's not just the technical ability that is dazzling, but rather the imagination in regstration, counter melody and phrasing, orchestration really. He can show off a large instrument so well .

@britishcomposers Жыл бұрын

@@johnloud5673 He is also the only organist that has taken on some of the complex works that the late and utterly brilliant orchestrator, William Davies used to perform. His masterpiece was the 'Variations On BBC' - a test piece that was aired in experimental simulcast stereo in 1960 from the Trocadero Elephant & Castle on this very instrument at its last concert before the theatre closed for the very last time. It was aired between VHF 405-line television broadcast on one stereo channel and VHF radio broadcast on the other. The recording was released on an LP many years later. A masterclass in technique, orchestration and playing.
