Charles Harrison (organ) Lincoln Cathedral Choir, Aric Prentice Spiritually at home in the liturgy and fine choirs of High Church Anglicanism, John Ireland wrote much loved hymns and carols throughout his life. A fluent Edwardian style can be heard in earlier works such as the Stanford-influenced Te Deum and the Communion Service. The anthem Greater love hath no man took on affecting resonance when sung during memorial services during the First World War, and the ravishing Ex ore innocentium movingly responds to the agony of the Crucifixion in a rich, post-romantic musical language. “Here's an excellent idea: a whole CD of John Ireland's church music, which tends to be scattered piecemeal in anthologies. The impression it makes is very positive...the tutti singing is convincingly uninhibited.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2013 **** “excellent performances, with impeccable blend and ensemble. The balance between the lower and upper voices is ideal, and the overall sound is crowned by bright-toned trebles. There are some accomplished solo choristers and it's refreshing to hear the choir's gentlemen singing without the operatic tone heard in other cathedral choirs.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013 |

| |  | Ireland - Complete Organ Works
Stefan Kagl (organ of Herforder Muenster) It is not often CPO record British music, but on this new SACD they introduce the organ works of John Nicholson Ireland into their catalogue. Ireland’s compositional output followed the trend of many other English Impressionist composers and favored smaller forms rather than large scale orchestral works or operas. Organ works account for a small proportion of his oeuvre, but Stefan Kagl is an excellent interpreter of these multifaceted works. This is the complete collection of Ireland’s organ works including 'Marcia popolare' and the 'Epic March' arranged by his life-long friend Robert Gower. | | | 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. |
