Producer’s Note
These recordings were made on the evenings of November 1st and 3rd 1976, using two Neumann Mono KM86 microphones as a stereo pair raised to about fifteen feet. The music was recorded on a Revox A700.
I apologise for the traffic noise which can be heard on occasions, but this could not be avoided as this, one of the most beautiful churches in England, is alongside main thoroughfares on two sides which are busy both day and night. I hope it will not mar your enjoyment of this very fine instrument.
Michael Smythe
