Stephen Ketterer studied piano as a youth, and after hearing local tracker organ performances, began a long love affair with the instrument. He subsequently began study with Norman Andre, the organist at his church. When the church’s organ began to age, a committee of interested parties was formed to see to its restoration or eventual replacement. Ketterer took a particular interest in this pursuit, and through his involvement developed a great knowledge of organ builders, and the sounds they create through their individual designs. After years of study and performance, he has committed to disc this compelling recital featuring his von Beckerath which was commissioned from builders in Hamburg. Recorded in the spacious Edgewood Music Hall, this program displays Ketterer's skill at the console as well as the magnificent sound of this instrument.
