A new release featuring a selection of Hubert Parry’s organ music, played on the historic 19th-century William Hill organ in the Chapel of Eton College – the school where Parry was educated as a boy. The works are played by David Goode, current organist of Eton College, in his first recording for Regent. The recording contains all of the large-scale works Parry wrote for the organ, together with a selection of smaller-scale Chorale Preludes on well-known hymn tunes. The wonderful Romantic Hill organ at Eton (recently restored to its original tonal specification) is the ideal vehicle for Parry’s organ works, and is set in a glorious acoustic. David Goode was a music scholar at Eton College, and then organ scholar at King’s College, Cambridge. From 1996 to 2001 he was Sub-Organist at Christ Church, Oxford. He won the top prizes awarded at the 1997 St Alban’s Interpretation Competition, and the Recital Gold Medal at the 1998 Calgary Competition. |

| |  | Simon Johnson plays the Organ of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London
Recorded in Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound. Contains DVD and a CD of the recital sound track. Bonus Features include a tour of the organ and its history. This new DVD and CD from Priory is the fifth in a series of organ recitals filmed in Britain’s great cathedrals. The programme is designed around the history of the building, and contains in particular a poignant reminder of the blitz in 1940, with the music of Samuel Barber’s Adagio. Filmed beside the new nave console this is also the first recording since the instrument’s restoration; also seen are numerous pictures from inside and outside the Cathedral including the crypt and the whispering gallery, together with illustrations of the Great Fire of London. The music has been specially chosen to provide links with organists connected with St Paul’s, including Maurice Greene, Hubert Parry, Felix Mendelssohn and Georg Frederick Handel. Jeremiah Clarke’s famous Trumpet Voluntary was recorded to show off the west end royal trumpets – (and for hi-fi buffs listening in 5.1 surround sound these will be heard only from the rear speakers.) This we believe is Priory’s greatest DVD to date in terms of technical brilliance and recorded sound – every available trumpet and tuba combination has been demonstrated by Simon Johnson in this recital, and his visual ‘talk-through’ of Norman Cocker’s ‘Tuba Tune’ on one of the bonus features is fascinating both for students and general listeners alike. “One could not wish for a more genial or engaging guide than the Cathedral's organist, Simon Johnson. A brilliant and sensitive musician, his deeply satisfying programme more than does justice to the vast five-manual Willis/Mander organ and its awe-inspiringly cavernous acoustic...Spine-tingling sublime.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010 “This is a remarkable demonstration of what is achievable on a DVD recording of an organ concert. The playing sparkles throughout, the sound and picture quality are immaculate and the camerawork is imaginative and engaging. However, the real triumph is the marriage of the audio and the visual...the programme has been planned in so much detail and with such thoughtfulness as to make the connections truly meaningful for the viewer.” International Record Review, March 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
