| |  | Thomas Trotter: The Town Hall TraditionVirtuoso Organ Showpieces from Town Hall, Birmingham
DVD Video (region free, PAL/NTSC) & Audio CD The debut DVD from Thomas Trotter – one of the world’s greatest organists – and the first DVD release from Regent Records. An opportunity to enjoy, both visually and aurally, Thomas Trotter’s artistry and staggering technique in a celebration of town hall virtuosity, on the great concert hall organ with which he is intimately acquainted. Features a highly entertaining and varied programme of organ pieces from the heart of the town hall tradition, including Thalben-Ball’s Variations on a theme of Paganini played almost entirely on the pedals. Extra features include a biographical interview with Thomas Trotter and a guide to the Town Hall organ. Box contains both a DVD Video (performance in 5.1 surround sound), audio CD, and a 16 page booklet with notes on the music, the Town Hall, and a newly-written article on the history of the organ by Nicholas Thistlethwaite. “should you want Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture on the organ, this is a recording to turn to. Trotter plays everything from memory, unusually among organists and even more remarkable given the complex registrations involved here.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2012 **** “Filming an organist playing a recital is a notoriously difficult assignment...[It is] difficult to get all the elements right. This film comes as close as any...Trotter operates with a sleight of hand that's as slick as any conjurer's. The performances are everything on has come to expect from one of the world's greatest organists, notable for their clarity, rhythmic buoyancy, stylistic taste, imaginative colouring - and the ability to amaze.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

With reference to the latter, this performance of Thalben-Ball's Paganini Variations should be compulsory viewing. Richard Knight's camerawork is superb and Paul Crichton's sound beautifully balanced and warm. A delightful production throughout.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

| |  | Restored to GloryReleased to celebrate the re-opening of Birmingham Town Hall and the restoration of its historic William Hill organ, international virtuoso and Birmingham City Organist Thomas Trotter presents a new recording of dazzling organ showpieces
The CD comes with a full colour commemorative booklet. “After some deliciously un-PC Handel, Trotter displays the kind of footwork that would have made Fred Astaire envious in Thalben-Ball's virtuoso Paganini Variations for pedals alone. …in GT-B's Elegy, Trotter reminds us what a meticulous, imaginative colourist he is. In Best's Fantasia on Men of Harlech and Lemare's Carmen Suite, his rhythmic panache and incisive attack send a shiver down the spine.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2007 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
