CD Reviews

3rd Largest Working Organ is Scott Dettra's best friend
Stuart M. Davis | Ann Arbor, MI United States | 05/08/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"With 325 Ranks and 20,142 pipes at his dispossal, Scott Dettra takes beautiful advantage of the West Point organ located in the Cadet Chapel at the United States Military Academy. Walking into such a venue in silence makes one ponder at the greatness of such a machine and a view of the consol stirs the imaginiation whilst you envision the performer that must drive this instruments. Listening to this CD is the most appropriate way to verify these thoughts. Even listening to the first piece, Bach's "Piece d'Orgue, BWV 572" makes you wonder how the stained glass of the chapel can hold up to such majesty. But it's not all about the organ, and it is not all about the composers. Scott Dettra brings the venue and music to life in a way that only true musicianship allows. Scott has had an advantage of growing up with this organ at his disposal. But the advantage is not merely mechanical. The true advantage is that Mr. Dettra is a superb musician and this is a superb recording."
