sjf1967 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hi folks. I'm in need of a capable page-turner (possibly who is able to act as occasional registrant too) for some recording sessions in St Giles' Cathedral Edinburgh on the evenings of Feb 11 and 12 - contemporary British repertoire of some difficulty, so page-turning it can't be busked. My usual sources of help are not available on this occasion. If any forum members might be able to help, do please drop me a PM - the sessions might finish quite late as there's a lot to do in two evenings. We can of course discuss payment as required- beer, food, money, or a combination thereof. Thanks! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenTurner Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I live 40 mins away. Presuming you are the Mr Farr I last heard in Westminster Cath a year or so and player on one of my favourite CDs (of Nicholson organs), I would jump at the opportunity ordinarily but for it being school holidays round here, and I have unchallengeable parental responsibilities, so I regretfully decline. I would recommend you approach St Mary's Music School or Edinburgh Organists' Society, both of which are very active, for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjf1967 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yes, that’s me. Thanks Owen - these are very good ideas. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenTurner Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Stephen, did your recording get released? If so what did you play and where can it be obtained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjf1967 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Hello Owen! It did - complete James Macmillan, and it's here https://www.resonusclassics.com/james-macmillan-organ-works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenTurner Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Hi Stephen, I have listened to it and I really enjoyed it. Not entirely what I expected, but then I don't think I've heard much Macmillan other than a couple of choral items. Not a comment on your performance at all but it did remind me to go back to a review by Marc Rochester, whose writing I have often found entertaining and illuminating, about a performance of the St Andrews' Suite. See particularly the reply from Eddie McGuire. http://drmarcsblog.marcrochester.com/2013/07/silly-endings.html?m=1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
