A Forest of Pipes: The Story of the Walt Disney Concert Hall

A Forest of Pipes: The Story of the Walt Disney Concert Hall Organ

This revised 10th anniversary edition is in a larger format and is easier to read, with additional pictures and updated information, including a current Stop List and cutaway diagram. The book describes the planning, construction, installation and sound of the spectacular pipe organ that is the visual focus of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The architect of the building, Frank Gehry, designed the enormous wooden facade pipes which are the visual focus of the auditorium. He produced a work of art that is unorthodox and unforgettable. But behind that impressive faÃ§ade is the rest of the organ, making a total of 6,145 pipes which produce the magnificent sounds and tonal variety so enjoyed by audiences. This book answers all the questions a person might have - using interviews, explanations, and over 150 color photographs. Through the insights of those who created this instrument, and those who have played it, the reader can appreciate the imagination, collaboration, engineering feats, craftsmanship and musicality expressed through this iconic pipe organ.
