About this product

Product Information

For centuries, pipe organs stood at the summit of musical and technological achievement, admired as the most complex and intricate mechanisms the human race had yet devised. In All The Stops, New York Times journalist Craig Whitney journeys through the history of the American pipe organ and brings to life the curious characters who have devoted their lives to its music. From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, organ music was wildly popular in America. Organ builders in New York and New England could hardly fill the huge demand for both concert hall and home organs. Master organbuilders found ingenious ways of using electricity to make them sound like orchestras. Organ players developed cult followings and bitter rivalries. One movement arose to restore to American organs the clarity and precision that baroque organs had in centuries past, while another took electronic organs to the rock concert halls, where younger listeners could be found. But while organbuilders and organists were fighting with each other, popular audiences lost interest in the organ. Today, organs are beginning to make a comeback in concert halls and churches across America. Craig Whitney brings the story to life and up to date in a humorous, engaging book about the instruments and vivid personalities that inspired his lifelong passion: the great art of the majestic pipe organ. Hear the sounds of some of the pipe organs featured in ALL THE STOPS

ALL THE STOPS - the glorious Pipe Organ and its ameri..
This book is one of the best book I've ever bought. First because I love everything concerning the magic world of the organ, and then, because I wanted to know everything possible about the american organ (I'm an italian organist). Before reading this fantastic book, for me, the american organ (his origins,his builders.. and his players too..) was something I couldn't clearly identify in my mind: reading the 300 pages and odd, I can say that now I know not only the most important figures around the world of american organ (such as E.M. Skinner, G. Donald Harrison, Power E. Biggs, Virgil Fox..and the same author) but also how many ideas and "ways to work" of all these persons made the "american organ" as it is today. Every work and every upgrade in the way to work of american organbuilders ... This book is one of the best book I've ever bought.

Every work and every upgrade in the way to work of american organbuilders are considered in the historical contest in whom every figure named in this book lived. A very good and pleasant book, not only for organ lovers, but for all who want know as much as possible about the figures who makes the history of american organ and for all who want to give the correct place to each figure into the fantastic way of the king of instruments.

All the Stops, by Craig R. Whitney
Whitney has produced a very 'readable' book about both the construction of the pipe organ and some of the finest recitalists on the instrument. It teaches without being pedantic. The glossary alone is worth the price of the book. It is a welcome addition to my library, answering as it does many questions about the workings of the instrument.

personalities and organ development
Traces the history of organs, in the USA, although knowledge from Audsley's twin books would fill in technical gaps. There is a lot of fine reading here, and perhaps even interesting enough to share with one of your non-organist friends!
