At the very end of December, 2001, the Great Organ at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York was covered with a coat of ash, like the rest of the Cathedral interior. A devastating fire broke out in early morning hours in an area adjacent to the Cathedral nave, just days before Christmas, 2001. But the Cathedral came back! In the years that followed the fire, the Cathedral interior was beautifully restored. The Cathedral's famous Great Organ - originally dating back to 1910 - was gloriously restored by Quimby Pipe Organs of Warrensburg, Missouri. The restored Great Organ was heard for worship again in November, 2008.
In the 87-minute DVD video program, we see and hear fabulous highlights from each concert in the series, given by GERRE HANCOCK, OLIVIER LATRY, MARILYN KEISER, PETER CONTE, THIERRY ESCAICH and DANIEL ROTH. The video - with its close-up detail of these artists at the console, adds a dimension to the performance that cannot be appreciated in any other way. Artist comments and special remarks from the Cathedral's own Bruce Neswick round out the program. Two CD audio discs and a 32-page booklet are packaged with the DVD, with even more highlights from the Great Organ : Great Artists series.
