Robert Quinney performs a stunning recital of works by Elgar on the organ of Westminster Abbey. Quinney has been Sub-Organist there since 2004, performing for a variety of celebrated occasions including the Royal Wedding in April this year. This is Quinney’s second disc with Signum, following a 2-CD recital of works by Brahms, Wagner and Dupré on the organ of Westminster Cathedral, where Quinney was Assistant Master of Music from 2000-2004. “Revel in Robert Quinney’s superb, multifaceted, virile, eloquently expressive playing of Westminster Abbey’s mighty Harrison & Harrison organ. The music is all by Elgar, but only the G Major Sonata, given a performance befitting the music’s nobility as well as its thrilling tonal spectrum, was written for solo organ. Magnificent.” The Telegraph, 11th August 2011 ***** “the 'meat' of the disc...is the imposing Sonata which provides a thorough workout both for Quinney's hugely impressive technique and the instrument's capacious resources. Form the protean grandeur and introspective lyricism of the first movement, to the breezy gusto of the Finale, Quinney is in the complete command...Thoughtfully programmed, compellingly played, Quinney's Elgar entices.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2011 **** “If overwhelming organ sound - especially from the Tuba stops - is what you're after, this is for you. Signum Classics' recording is tremendously vivid across the whole spectrum and captures the Westminster Abbey atmosphere in all its blazing majesty...If it's a masterly display of an organist revelling in transcriptions that push the pseudo-orchestral effects of a grand organ to the limits, then you can relish this, too...while his playing is magnificently flamboyant, it is more focused on the organ than on Elgar” Gramophone Magazine, November 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Edward Elgar was the first composer to make extensive recordings of his own compositions. HMV (His Master's Voice) recorded much of his music acoustically from 1914 onwards and then began a series of electrical recordings in 1926 that continued until 1933, including his "Enigma Variations," "Falstaff," the first and second symphonies, his cello and violin concertos, all of the "Pomp and Circumstance" marches, and other orchestral works. Part of a 1927 rehearsal of the second symphony with the London Symphony Orchestra was also recorded and later issued. “With Colin Davis, Mark Elder, Andrew Davis and others promoting it, Elgar’s music is in good hands. Yet perhaps nobody has known so well as the composer himself how it should go — how passionately, how freely — as this collection of the complete electrical recordings he made between 1926 and 1933 magnificently shows...Elgarians owe EMI so much.” Sunday Times, 26th June 2011 **** “It’s surprising how few allowances need to be made for the scratchy mono sound. Elgar was a skilled conductor of his own work, and what’s refreshing is how swift and urgent an interpreter he was...The two symphonies have rarely sounded less parochial and more like fin de siècle European classics...This set is a revelatory bargain - once you start dipping in you can't stop.” Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk, 16th July 2011 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
