40 years of pipe organ music

December 2, 2024 7:23 AM

Pipedreams.org has aired 1-2 hours of pipe organ music a week for since 1982. And it's all online for anyone to listen to. (Note: The latest episode is always a one-minute preview. But all of the other episodes make the full, hours-long audio available.)

This is the web site of Minnesota Public Radio's Pipedreams show. Some personal faves so far:

• Igniting the Flame
• A Big Bruckner Bicentennial Blast
• Norwegians Would!
• Cathedral Resonances

I used to listen to this as a kid! I think Hearts of Space came on right after it (or maybe before).

Also, I think I saw the host of Pipedreams, Michael Barone, in the very small audience of an early music recital I attended.

Radio resources online may be one of my favourite internet genres. Amazing, thank you for sharing!

I can always could on Metafilter to give me plenty of stuff that I can forward to my music-loving friends. It perpetuates the illusion I spend all my time online. Thanks!

WRCJ here near Detroit used to air it Sundays at 2p ET, and I'd make it a point as I could to make that a couple hours of pure chill time (or easy chore time). Unfortunately that quietly went away over the last year. Glad to see it here on The Blue though
