John Robinson Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 It was in 1989, I believe, that Gillian Weir's TV series of the above name was broadcast. At that time I made a VHS recording of all six programmes which, although of deplorable quality, I enjoy watching from time to time. For over twenty years I have been hoping that the BBC would repeat-broadcast the programmes so that I could make a better quality DVD recording but, alas, they did as one would expect and never showed them again. Now, however, Priory have come to my rescue! They are to release a remastered DVD of the series (with 'free' CD) along the lines of, and at the same price as, their other organ DVDs, and due for release about the same time as the St Paul's DVD. Thanks, Priory for having the foresight the BBC lack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Humana Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Wonderful! I rarely buy organ DVDs, but this one is going to be a must. Many, if not all, of the pieces are on YouTube (links were posted in the YouTube thread a while back), but that's hardly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Kemp Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 It isn't in the Priory on-line catalogue yet. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazuin Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Will the CD only include the tracks included on the CD released by the BBC at the time? It would be a shame if DGW's Stockholm Eben Moto Ostinato (among others) wasn't to find its way onto disc. Bazuin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Priory News I received, "The package also includes a free CD of Dame Gillian playing some of the music from the organs recorded above, but in different performances". It does sound like the earlier CD from the BBC, but who can say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
