Recordings of the National Cathedral are unparalleled in their scope and sound, and cathedral organist Erik Suter is considered one of the top American organists. He held positions at Trinity Church, Copley Square and at the Parish of All Saints, both in Boston; and at Trinity Church on the Green in New Haven before his position at the Cathedral. He has received a number of impressive accolades including first prize in the 1993 Chicago American Guild of Organists Young Organist's Competition; the Gold Medal of the Mayor of Musashino/Tokyo in the 1996 International Organ Competition Musashino in Japan; and first prize in the 1997 Yale Biennial Organ Competition. The Great Organ of Washington National Cathedral was built by the Ernest M. Skinner & Son Organ Company and installed in 1938. The instrument consists of 189 ranks and 10,647 pipes.
