Malcolm Williamson Symphony For Organ

[Guest Roffensis]

Can I ask if anyone remembers a broadcast by the BBC of Williamson's Symphony for Organ, played by Allan Wicks at Canterbury Cathedral in about 1964?

 

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who does?

 

 

Thanks,

I wasn't alive at the time of the broadcast, but I recently purchased a more modern recording of it at the same time I bought the Leighton concerto. I seem to remember its quite a dark piece.

Yes it is rather!

 

Allan Wicks also recorded it again, only this time from Coventry Cathedral.
