Organ Dreams, Vol. 3 - Truro Cathedral

Christopher Herrick (organ)

CDA67317

This summer holds much in store for Christopher Herrick. As well as this release of the third in his hugely popular Organ Dreams series, he is giving a recital on 6th August at Westminster Abbey as part of their Summer Organ Festival, and in September, Hyperion are to release a 16-CD set of his recordings of works for organ by J.S. Bach. Not forgetting of course, that in May he turns 60, so birthday congratulations and best wishes to Mr Herrick!

Like the others in the series, this disc comprises a selection of both well-loved pieces (such as Moonlight and Roses, In a monastery garden and Whitlock’s Folk Tune), and lesser-known but equally attractive works, all played with Herrick’s customary deftness and unsurpassed musicality. Add to this mixture the rich sonority of the grand organ of Truro Cathedral and the result is another magical disc of harmonious sound from one of the world’s greatest organists.
