Justadad 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
