About

Ben van Oosten received great reviews for his captivating program featuring English organ music of the nineteenth century on Volume 1. Now, on Volume 2 of his 'Festival of English Organ Music', this master of the romantic organ presents veritable hits as well as original compositions and arrangements that are entirely unknown – at least on the European Continent.

Performed on the Henry Willis Organ in Salisbury Cathedral, this selection of works includes all the favourites, among them Elgar’s March No.1 'Pomp and Circumstance'.

Even though Elgar was active as an organist in Worcester, he wrote only a few original works for organ, including the magnificent sonata recorded by Ben van Oosten on Vol.1 of this series. On this next volume, van Oosten turns to yet another march and the enchanting compositional pair formed by 'Chanson de matin' and 'Chanson de nuit', lovingly arranged by Elgar’s close friend Herbert Brewer.
