Stephen G. Schaeffer is featured on a new recording, Stephen Schaeffer Plays the Advent Organ, recorded in March 2012 by Sonare at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, on the 100-rank M. P. Möller organ installed under Dr. Schaeffer’s supervision in 1988. The ten tracks feature works by Bach, Balbastre, Franck, Widor, Jongen, Duruflé, Davies, Bridge, and King.
The organ, whose stoplist is available at AdventBirmingham.org, was voiced by Daniel Angerstein and includes over 50% pre-existing pipework, some from the work of E. M. Skinner.
The CD is available from the cathedral music department at 205/443-8553 for $15 plus shipping, or from www.episcobooks.com.
