About
Released as part of celebrations of the 300th anniversary of founding of the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, this recording brings alive the many colours of this splendid organ.
One of the finest remaining examples of the work of British organ builders Hill, Norman and Beard from the 1930s, set in a glorious seven-second acoustic.
A selection of rich twentieth-century English music by Whitlock, Mathias and Francis Jackson balanced by typically French impressionism and virtuosity from Mulet, Vierne, Bonnet, Jongen and Lanquetuit.
The English repertoire is played by William Saunders in his fourth recording for Regent, and the French works are played by Peter Crompton, Director of Music at the Royal Hospital School and award-winning organist.
Previous reviews of William Saunders’ recordings on Regent:
‘William’s playing is quite astounding: musicality, flawless technique and mind-boggling organ management.’ - Organists’ Review (Editor’s Choice)
‘…rhythmically vital and athletically inclined playing…exudes bright cheer and happiness; and you can’t say that about every organ recording’ - Gramophone
