AJJ Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Priory have brought out Richard Popplewell's Concertos - has anyone heard them? I must admit that variations on 'Dashing Away with a Smoothing Iron was a little off putting when reading the description - but I suppose each to their own!

MusingMuso Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm surprised that none of us has yet mentioned the Handel Organ Concerti: a bit of an oversight there, I think. Not at all bad: in fact, rather superb! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themythes Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This https://www.guildmusic.com/reviews/rev7215z.htm might prove interesting. I have the disc and can endorse Daniel Moult’s review. David Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyorgan Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Has anyone heard David Briggs' Organ Concerto, recorded in 2005 at Blackburn? Powerful stuff imho, with more than a hint of Poulenc and his contemporaries in places. Yes, I have the CD and it is very good. It is very Briggs, which of course means its very French, yet not a pastiche in anyway. Well worth a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Carr Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yes, I have the CD and it is very good. It is very Briggs, which of course means its very French, yet not a pastiche in anyway. Well worth a look! I have the CD too - it's excellent. We were also at the premiere at Blackburn a couple of years or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Humana Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 This one looks as if it might be quite fun, though not a little difficult. I confess I have never heard of the chap before. A German answer to Guilmant perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giwro Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 This one looks as if it might be quite fun, though not a little difficult. I confess I have never heard of the chap before. A German answer to Guilmant perhaps? More like a brother to Reger.... Fahrmann wrote 14 sonatas and a host of other works - many are fiendishly difficult. I have a copies of 2 of the Sonatas... Incidentally, I requested that Sibley scan the above item - I was pleased to have it show up in my notification email from them yesterday. You all really need to go to their site and browse the downloads (search) there is a RAFT of obscure music available! Best, - G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
