Allen Q325

Rosemary Presbyterian Church
Belfast, Pohjois-Irlanti

Uuden Allenin vihkiäiskonsertin soitti maailmankuulu urkutaiteilija Carlo Curley, joka kuuluu urkureiden ehdottomaan eliittiin. Myös BBC huomioi Allen-konsertin erillisellä radio-ohjelmalla.

Alkuperäinen lainaus konsertin tunnelmista (lyhennelmä):

Carlo played superbly and his choice of programme exploited the colours of the organ to the maximum. I have been to quite a number of recitals here in Northern Ireland over the years and it is a very long time since I heard any organ sound like what the Q325 did on Saturday evening. It was probably my first real opportunity to hear what the organ sounded like in the building. I have to say I was amazed myself at what I heard. It sounded and felt like a fine pipe organ was playing and not a digital organ at all.
The concert ended with a standing ovation, whistling and shouts of  “Bravo! More! More!” Remember this was a Saturday evening classical organ concert in a traditional Presbyterian church. I can tell you it simply does not happen here in Northern Ireland. But this time it certainly did.
Some of  the following comments were made by the most unsuspecting people who regularly play pipe organs:
“That is probably now one of the finest concert organs in Belfast!”
“That organ sounded like a fine 40-stop pipe organ. In fact better than most pipe organs I have heard here recently.”
“How do they do that. That organ does what most pipe organs try to do. Amazing!”
