BIS Great Cathedral Organ Series: Gloucester Cathedral

Recorded in October 2021, this turned out to be the final recording made of the 'old' organ of Gloucester Cathedral, expertly played by the Cathedral's Assistant Director of Music Jonathan Hope.

The following programme has been carefully chosen by Jonathan to best show off the organ and to include a balanced selection of music, The improvisation comes from the end of an Organ Demonstration which Jonathan gave for BIS.

• JS Bach - Prelude and Fugue in G BWV 541
• Elgar - Froissart Overture (arr. J Hope)
• Vierne - Organ Symphony No. 2
• Allegro
• Choral
• Scherzo
• Cantabile
• Final
• Improvisation on 'Kingsfold'

Whereas YouTube compresses the audio in all of its videos, the audio here is lossless and you'll hear the Cathedral Organ sounding absolutely incredible!
