F A B U L O U S ! Bravo, Ben! A really magnificent performance on the wonderful Rochester Cathedral Organ with its glorious Tuba (which PWW must have equally relished!). His 'Fanfare' from 'Four Extemporisations' is, for me, such a quintessential expression of English organ music from that period, so beautifully crafted and just brimming with Whitlock's charisma as a composer who had more than mastered his trade. Although recorded back in May, you have uploaded this on a day when youngsters are maybe thinking about some wicked little 'tricks' tonight . . . but your playing here is certainly all 'treat', and you have earned yourself the sweetest candy as your deserved reward! (Looking forward to attending your recital tomorrow at Leeds Minster - another treat to come!)
Why do I always miss you when you get back to Rochester? I’ll drop you an email. I always remember meeting you after I had moved back there and thinking you were one of the choristers and not the sub organist!
