ALBUM RELEASE
As part of the Hazel Wright Organ’s 40th anniversary and restoration celebration, Christ Cathedral’s two organists are releasing newly recorded albums through Gothic Records, a historic label that also recorded Hazel during the Crystal Cathedral era.
David Ball, principal organist and cathedral music ministry director, is releasing his album, “The Hazel Wright Organ,” which includes “Ceremonial Dialogue.” The new work for the 2022 dedication is by American composer Daniel Ficarri. Ball also recorded Robert Hebble’s “Heraldings,” which was written for Hazel’s dedication ceremony in 1982.
Dr. Emma Whitten, associate organist, is releasing “Hazel Is Back!” Her work includes music by Americans and female composers, along with other organ favorites.
Both albums feature duets on Hazel’s two consoles, as well as a virtuosic display of a truly American style of eclectic organ playing. The Gothic Records albums will be available on CD as well as digital download. For more information, visit HazelWrightOrgan.com.
