BIS Great Cathedral Organ Series: Llandaff Cathedral

A programme of Organ Music appropriate for two occasions; the season of Lent and the celebration of 10 years since the completion of the organ.

The way this recording has been captured has been described as "stunning" and "magnificent" by the previous Tonal Director of the organ's manufacturer - Nicholson & Co, and is performed by the Director of Music Stephen Moore and Assistant Director of Music Aaron Shilson.

The following programme has been carefully chosen by Stephen, Aaron and me to best show off the organ and to include a balanced selection of music.

1 Bach - Fantasia and Fugue in C minor BWV 546
2 Whitlock - Fanfare (from ‘Four Extemporisations’)
3 Mendelssohn - Organ Sonata 3 (first movement)
4 Towers - Dafydd y garreg wen
5 Jackson - Impromptu
6 Whitlock - Fidelis (from ‘Four Extemporisations’)
7 Downes - The Forest at Dawn
8 Rutter - Variations on an Easter Theme (Duet)

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!
