Martin Cooke Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 It was the opening recital of the new Dobson instrument last night, given by Daniel Hyde. This link should lead you to a webcast of it. Other events to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipmgwright Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Many thanks for putting up this link so quickly. It made me feel a part of this celebration.The Dobson sounded exceptional in the Wagner and Daniel Hyde deserved the audience accolade. Also nice touch to include a reference to Gerre Hancock in form of one of his improvisations ...further Daniel’s modest comments that improvisations were not yet in his music galaxy. Busy now downloading the Celebratory Brochure! philipmgwright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Cooke Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 There is more to listen to now including a second superb recital, this time by Ben Sheen, the Associate Organist, and yesterday's choral services. The organ was dedicated at the morning Eucharist (Langlais). If you haven't heard Tom Winpenny's arrangement of Walton's March "The English Speaking People" do listen to Ben Sheen's performance of it. It is the opening piece in his recital - here.

Shropshire Lad Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Thanks for sharing this. I've just listened Ben Sheen's recital. The organ is just amazing. Listening to the Healey Willan, the Tuba Mirabilis (I presume) at 49:36 is fantastic and has a real similarity in tone to the one at York Minster as heard on Francis Jackson's definitive recording of this piece.
