The first recording of the historic 1723 Abraham Jordan organ in St George’s Church, Southall, completely restored to its original specification by Mander Organs in 2009.
One of only a handful of instruments surviving from this period in the UK, this delightful early eighteenth-century organ has a surprising wealth of colour and characteristic sonorities, including one of the world’s earliest examples of a ‘swelling organ’.
Critically-acclaimed organist, William Whitehead, presents a broad survey of Restoration and Georgian English organ music appropriate to the restored instrument, and includes many works new to the catalogue.
