First & Grand

 

First & Grand represents the premiere recording on the one-of-a-kind pipe organ at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, home of the L.A. Philharmonic.  The music is classical, the performer is a master at his artistry, but Bull has taken the pipe organ to the next level and is blazing trails beyond the boundaries.  Christoph Bull has been called “Tiger Woods of the organ,” the “rock star organist,” and the “most versatile musician on the planet”.

 

You’re doing for the world of organ what Tiger Woods

is doing for the game of golf! 

Now everyone will love coming to an organ concert.

~Gerry Biggs McGrath, American Guild Of Organists

 

The Disney Hall organ is the most unique pipe organ in the world in that its façade has curved, versus straight pipes. It was co-designed by the architect of the equally innovative concert hall, Frank Gehry. The organ was built in collaboration by the L.A. firm Rosales Organ Builders and the German-based Glatter-Götz Orgelbau. So it is only befitting that First & Grand celebrates the organ’s uniqueness with an equally groundbreaking recording.
