| |  | English Organ Musicfrom the Temple Church
In keeping with the historic nature of the Temple Church, London, the first mention of an organ there dates back to 1308 – although the organ on this recording, made by Harrison & Harrison, dates only from 1954 (the previous organ was destroyed during the blitz in 1941). The varied programme touches on a multitude of works for organ by English composers, all of which bring out different facets of this versatile instrument. The organist, James Vivian, has been part of the music department at the Temple Church since 1997, working first with the then director of music Stephen Layton, before taking on the role himself in 2006. This disc is complemented by the release the Temple Church Choir’s The Majesty of Thy Glory: Choral Works by Britten, Elgar, Howells and Purcell, also released this month. “[a] satisfying and diverse programme, tailor-made for this gloriously unabashed Romantic instrument...the undoubted masterpiece on the disc is Francis Jackson's Toccata, Choral and Fugue...Jackson has written a piece that sounds as fresh as ever, especially with such compellingly masterful playing. The recorded sound is absolutely first-rate. I loved this disc.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

This celebratory recital includes favourites such as Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565 and Mendelssohn’s War March of the Priests as well as works by Dupont, Cocker and Rheinberger. “A prodigious performance…Superb technique….This really was a recital to savour.” The Organ “he delivers a performance full of genuine life and vigour in the Toccata, relishing the myriad opportunities offered by this outstanding instrument. His enunciation of the Fugue's subject is an object-lesson...The remaining tracks are mostly all popular items, relatively brief but well contrasted and cleverly chosen to display aspects of this remarkable organ” International Record Review, March 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
