Justadad Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have just received notice of this summer's recital programme at Farnborough Abbey, and thought I'd pass them on. It's a real gem of an organ and, if I remember correctly, got several nominations for Best Small Organ in an extensive thread about favourite organs last year. The recitals are free, there's tea a biscuits afterwards, and for all those who have expressed their disappointment in the Why Do We Bother and Cheap Music threads, the audience (when I have been there) sits and listens, and is highly appreciative. Sun 4th May at 3pm Neil Wright (Farnborough Abbey) Mendelssohn, Bach, Franck, Improvisation Sun 1st June at 3pm Florian Pagitsch (Vienna) Mozart, Eberlin, Moondog, Improvisation Sun 6th July at 3pm Martin Stacey (Hampstead) Widor, Linjama, Laurin, Gigout, Stacey Sun 3rd Aug at 3pm Adrian Gunning (Islington) Tournemire, Langlais, Callaerts Sun 7th Sept at 3pm Fausto Caporali (Cremona, Italy) Messiaen, Caporali, Improvisation Sun 5th Oct at 3pm Neil Wright (Farnborough Abbey) Wesley, Messiaen, Hakim, Improvisation Pictures of the organ can be seen at http://www.cavaille-coll.co.uk/gallery.htm Best wishes J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clark Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sun 1st June at 3pmFlorian Pagitsch (Vienna) Mozart, Eberlin, Moondog, Improvisation Best wishes J Would this Moondog be the blind American rock musician/composer I wonder? I was not aware that he had written for organ unless this is a transcription. Anyone kow anything? (Oh, and thanks, J, for the list of recitals) Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
