“My Happy Day Plays Continental Favourites, Volume 2”. 51 Key Jan van Eyk Street Organ.
This Street Organ CD has been recorded by James Reid and features the very enjoyable instrument owned by Martyn Threapleton who operates the instrument in streets as well as at shows. The 51 key instrument was built in 1987 and plays on the Limonaire scale.
The organ plays very well indeed. I had his CD playing in the car for a number of days and it was difficult to get bored listening to it repeatedly – it has a very smooth intricate action that gets the best out of a piece of music and the pipework is what you would expect from a very good Dutch Street Organ. I found that the last track ‘Het Dorp’ is an enchanting piece which I am sure members will find very pleasing on the ear.
My Happy Day has a vast musical repertoire and new arrangements continue to be added so I anticipate a further volume soon.
