There has been a bit of talk about cathedrals and organs recently and coincidentally I was listening to this the other day so I have gone off and taken a photo of it as it may be of interest....
The interesting thing for me that I read in the liner notes is that apparently the contemporary organ for which the music written by the composers listed herein was for an organ without pedals!

Some more recent listening; music by a composer that we do not see that often around here (except perhaps posted by Darren)....

That looks interesting, Fergus. Pedals came late to quite a few territories, so manual only music is common (and very handy!) What composers are included here? Are xe talking Boyce, Greene, Wesley, etc?
(In other news, this thread has made me realise I've lost my Early English Organ Music for Manuals book. Arse.)

Composers featured are Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tomkins, John Bull, Henry Purcell, John Blow, William Walond, William Boyce and Samuel Wesley.
This was a fact that I was completely ignorant of Simon.

I love David Oistrakh's music making. The EMI ICON box set is well worth getting.

^^ I have to say, he doesn't look particularly well on Fergus' LP cover...

Coincidentally, more Mozart....
This is a period performance with a difference. Andreas Schiff plays Mozart’s own fortepiano, Yuuko Shiokawa plays Mozart’s own violin and Erich Hobarth plays what is believed to be Mozart’s own viola; surely a truly period soundworld!

Gosh, that's a superb lineup.
