Insight into the Organ at Lincoln Cathedral
A NEW DVD of Lincoln Cathedral and its famous Father Willis organ will be launched on Sunday, November 22, with the playing of music on the disc from Organist Laureate.
From 5.30pm at the minster, Neil Collier, Managing Director of Priory Records, will talk briefly about the making of the project and copies, at a reduced price, will be on sale.
The DVD shows not only pictures of the organ and organist but some wonderful photography of many parts of the Cathedral both inside and out, detailing the building’s colourful history, St Hugh and the swans, the Imp, William Byrd, the Christmas Market, the bells and so on.
There is much to entertain you in both the DVD and the evening, to which admission is free.
Among the pieces to be played by Mr Walsh are Louis Vierne’s Carillon de Longport, Camille Saint-Sans’ The Swan from The Carnival of the Animals, Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in G Major, Eric Coates’ Dambusters March and Gaston Litaize’s Prlude et Danse Fugue.
Colin Walsh is at the front of his generation of organists in England, having played many recitals in England in cathedrals, abbeys, college chapels and two at the Royal Festival Hall and throughout Europe, Russia, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA.
Further forthcoming recitals are December 20, Messiaen: La Nativit du Seigneur played by Mr Walsh; March 7, Benjamin Chewter from Lincoln Cathedral; March 14, Anthony Pinel from St. James’, Grimsby; March 21, Michael Waldron from Trinity College, Cambridge. All at 5.30pm. All free with retiring collection.
