John Ledwon was back to the Arlington. This was John's third concert on the Great Theatre Pipe Organ of the Arlington.
John Ledwon is a theater organist with a love for the instruments he plays. Since the age of 11 John has been enamored with the sound and design of pipe organs and has become an expert on the workings of both concert and theater organs. Along the way John has also collected a number of instruments to better understand their unique innovations first hand. In recent years he has played the large Wurlitzer organ in the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood following its restoration paid for by the Disney Company.
John put on a great show.
Our 3rd CD is here. Samples of the musical selection as well as the liner notes are available under the CD tab above.
After the January 2011 concert, we planned on doing the audio recording for a 3rd Scott Foppiano CD. The CD is delayed as Scott is suffering from a herniated disk. This CD has tunes different than the standard Gershwin and Porter faire, and that work well with the theatre pipe organ, such as: Barry Manilow - I write the Songs, Overture from Pirates of Penzance, etc.. Scott really likes the Great Theatre Pipe Organ of the Arlington. The recording took place on Saturday, 9 July starting at 11 PM and extending into the wee hours. Scott's performance was excellent.
Both the CD's below are available at open consoles for $15.00, and by mail (includes postage and handling) for $20.00. Send a check to: SBTOS, POB 1913, Goleta, CA 93116.
The previous two Scott Foppiano CD's were Renaissance (now sold out), and Christmas at the Arlington (picture below and still available).
Christmas at the Arlington received a wonderful review in the November/December 2009 Theatre Organ Magazine. The first paragraph sets the tone of this review: Scott Foppiano’s new holiday CD, Christmas at the Arlington, is a Christmas stocking full of holiday musical enjoyment. Scott made this album on the great four manual, 27-rank Robert-Morton organ, most of which originally came from the Loew’s Jersey Theatre and is now installed in the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. The instrument itself is a real barn-burner, as is this highly entertaining CD.
