The British Institute of Organ Studies (BIOS) announces a new book, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, Organ Builder of Paris: The British Connections, by Gerald Sumner (£45.00).
The book is presented in three parts, beginning with a history of the Cavaillé family of organbuilders from the early years of the eighteenth century. The second part describes the interest in England in the work of Cavaillé-Coll, stimulated by the Great Exhibition of 1851. The third part comprises accounts of the eventual import of seven Cavaillé-Coll organs to England and two to Scotland.
