About

Thomas Murray plays the organ at First-Plymouth Congregational Church

Recording of pipe organ built by Schoenstein & Co at First-Plymouth Congregational Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. Thomas Murray performs organ works by Mendelssohn & Schumann.

The pipe organ built by the Schoenstein Company at First-Plymouth Congregational Church in Lincoln, Nebraska is expertly showcased by Thomas Murray, who explores the pipe organ’s seven divisions with finesse. His interpretations infuse the music with subtle shadings and a wealth of color, lending a delightful romantic cast to the classicism of Mendelssohn and Schumann. Schoenstein’s landmark instrument is a modern symphonic pipe organ of immense flexibility, designed for optimal expressive capability. Murray is in his element in this setting, with the pipe organ’s 85 voices, including Schoenstein’s then recently perfected Boehm flute, at his beck and call.

This recording comes with extensive documentation: an essay about the pipe organ, notes on the music, stoplist and numerous photos
