Edwin H Lemare was the most highly paid organist of his day as well as a prolific transcriber of orchestral music for the organ. This week we’ll hear some of Edwin Lemare’s original compositions, a few transcriptions, as well as a taste of Lemare’s own playing thanks to the magic of a perforated roll of paper.
Hosts: Mark Scholtz, Bill Stein
