Classic car man 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 Did anyone from the forum make the recital at Liverpool today? I recon today was my 30th consecutive anniversary recital and I thought Ian played fantastically well and made amazing use of the organ. Despite being written for the organ at the other end of Hope Street, the Mathias Invocations worked brilliantly. I really enjoyed the registrations of both Debussy transcriptions which really showed off the strings and solo flutes. A more apt hymn (Angel Voices) could not be sung at this occasion - craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Cooke 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 Sounds interesting and it would be great to hear from someone who was there. I think it's a shame that although there are dozens of recitals by top players in cathedrals every week/month, and you can see they are coming up on cathedral websites, there are very rarely any reviews written afterwards. You would sort of hope that one of the music staff at these places might have the task of writing a short review for the web. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
