Virgil Fox - The Hammond Castle Recordings
(1946 & 1953) |
 |
|
THE LEGACY SERIES Volume II comprises the three sets of recordings Virgil Fox made in 1946 & 1953 for RCA Victor at the Gloucester, Massachusetts Hammond Castle. The Brahms Complete Chorale Preludes were never recorded elsewhere by him, and this is his only commercially released recording of the Reubke Sonata on the 94th Psalm. Franck’s Grande Pièce Symphonique is included, as is Mozart’s Fantasy in F minor (K. 608), Dupré’s Prelude and Fugue in G minor, Mendelssohn’s Organ Sonata No. 1 in F minor, and the Fugue à la Gigue of Bach. 78 rpm and LP recordings digitized by John Wilson.

Virgil Fox - Great Protestant Hymns (1956) |
 |
|
The Legacy Series Volume III is Virgil Fox's "Great Protestant Hymns," recorded in 1956 on the new Aeolian-Skinner Organ in Riverside Church. After his Wanamaker Organ recording of 1964, this is the most frequently requested release--and for good reason. 21 hymns are treated to Virgil's rhythmic, dramatic, bold artistry. In over 57 minutes, the listener will be moved, exhilarated, inspired, and satisfied. Anyone who ever attended a Virgil Fox concert in a church will recall how he ended programs with the congregation singing, lustily, to his inevitable musicality..

The Coolidge Concerts |
 |
|
On February 15, 20 and 26, 1946, Virgil Fox played three concerts at the Coolidge Auditorium in Washington, DC. These three performances were played on Skinner Organ Co.'s Opus 531, 1925.
A total of 43 pieces were performed - many of the compositions Fox never played again during his career. These are truly archival recordings - not of the highest quality as they were most probably originally taken from acetate recordings. Pops and clicks have been removed, but all else was kept as to not compromise the fragile sound quality.
All in all, the recordings are charming and Fox makes the 27 rank instrument sound much larger than it is. As a reference recording, and an example of Fox's early style, these are important historic examples.

THE LEGACY SERIES Volume IV
Virgil Fox recorded these definitive performances on the Aeolian-Skinner organs at Riverside Church and Lincoln Center in New York City, and at Symphony Hall, Boston, in 1963 and 1965 for the Command Classics audiophile recording company, and they were released as four LP phonograph records and perhaps a few reel-to-reel tapes. Now, they are released for the first time on CD. |
