The Catastrophony – Henry Dagg
THE CATASTROPHONYA tribute to the historic 'Cat Organ' or 'Katzenclavier' of the 1550-1650 period by Henry Dagg. One of several instruments on which he performs in a variety act, it is shown here during a rehearsal (with Ben Saul on Piano) for a performance at Clarence House for a live public audience including Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. This rehearsal and the final performance were both recorded for Broadcast by BBC News.More about the cat organ with the article http://www.rareandstrangeinstruments.com/the-true-story-of-cat-organ on the official blog!
