Peter King (organ)About
Re-released in response to demand, a collection of delightful solo pieces and transcriptions of works by Handel himself (including Arrival of the Queen of Sheba), together with rare recordings of monumental variations on themes of Handel by Karg-Elert and Landmann.
Also included are pieces in the style of Handel by Guilmant and Percy Grainger’s humorous and ever-popular Handel in the Strand.
"Recorded on the magnificent Klais organ of Bath Abbey by Abbey organist, Peter King. The recording was made on the 1997 Klais organ at Bath Abbey (four manuals, 62 stops), where Peter King is organist. The organ has all the gravity required for these late romantic pieces, but at the same time a clarity and brilliance that ensures a sound that never seems turgid. King’s playing is a revelation.’ - American Record Guide, September 2009
"this is a really fascinating disc" - International Record Review, June 2009
"Karg-Elert's own Homage to Handel exploits virtually every tonal, textural and technical possibility of the organ, including the recently installed set of glockenspiel bells, in a dazzling expression of the performer's virtuosity." - Editor's choice, Organists' Review, August 2009
"Peter King delivers a hugely imaginative and brilliantly executed celebration of Handel's 250th anniversary....kaleidoscopic colours and scintillating brilliance... King is on fire...a perfect recital, to be returned to often. " - Choir & Organ, Sept/Oct 2009
