David Briggs At The Three Choirs Festival

[handsoff]

What a splendid recital this was. I shall leave any detailed critique to those better qualified than I but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. For me, David's performance of the Franck Chorale No.3 was the most thrilling and moving I have heard; such beautiful articulation, phrasing and registration.

 

His own music was quite superb, whether played with the score upside-down or not. (You had to be there!) and it was a great pleasure to meet the man himself afterward the recital.

 

The organ sounded magnificent; I had forgotten what a fine instrument it is heard from about 1/3 of the way down the nave on the north side. It was good to hear a real Willis tuba (more than once...).
