1962 Beckerath organ at Saint Paul’s, Cathedral, Pittsburgh, PA

This week’s show is a convenient collector’s guide to remarkable recordings featuring American performers and instruments.

…a collection of musical instruments that add immeasurably to this western Pennsylvania city’s enviable ‘livability’ rating.

…you might think them an odd couple, but Anton Heiller from 20th century Austria and Gottfried August Homilius from 18th century Saxony both knew a thing or two about writing for the organ.
