Also premiere recordings of ‘Prelude’ and ‘Choral’ by Dobrinka Tabakova – commissioned by William Saunders – and Christopher Steel’s ‘Changing Moods’ suite.
Also includes popular works by Mathias, John Gardner and Rutter.

Perhaps the building's generous acoustic rather muddies the clean lines...but this is more than compensated for by the birght, perky and crisp voicing of the organ itself...and Suanders's rhythmically vital and athletically inclined playing...the whole thing exudes bright cheer and happiness; and you can't say that about every organ recording.
