Hello Iain,
Jelani's recordings were recorded live in a large room, therefore we do not have them dry recorded straight through Hauptwerk's recording system. While I do have the MIDI files for playback I have been asked not to provide any dry recorded demos of Jelani's performances. As for myself doing them, I am not a theatre organist, so you would fare much better recording some dry examples yourself of exactly what you would like to hear then bringing those recordings to the speaker outlet for comparisons.
Is it possible for you to bring a laptop running HW2 with an audio card that you can connect to the speakers? Then you can play the organ in real time while listening as long as you have a MIDI keyboard or sequencer available with your laptop. Perhaps contact the speaker outlet prior to visiting to see if they can accomodate your needs before you arrive. I know of some places that will be happy to help out in this regard (here in the U.S at any rate!).
If not, then I suggest simply recording demos using just single stops so you can plug each individual demo into the speaker systems and hear how a particular rank sounds through those speakers. However you will know what you are wanting to hear, so you can certainly configure it to your own needs according to how you want to hear ranks through various speakers.
