DVD + CD Director: Marshall Pynkoski “The fascination of this for general viewers is in a resonant linking of the preoccupations and of 17th- and 18th-century music and culture with the radical scientific discoveries of the time, while for lovers of Baroque music there is a simpler joy in hearing familiar music in new contexts...Further pleasure comes from the playing of Tafelmusik, an uplifting mixture as ever of ensemble excellence and open generosity of spirit.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Organ Spectacular from St Paul’s Cathedral
“If, as the disc’s title seems to suggest, the organ is the star first and foremost here, it’s apt. The St Paul’s organ has got guts and fire in its belly – despite being scheduled for a major overhaul. But then there’s attack and a sense of scale to the whole of this recital, with Huw Williams delivering organ playing writ large (I’m not sure, having said that, any organ could deliver music writ small)” Gramophone Magazine | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
