About
The first solo recording of the magnificent Walker organ in St Chad’s Cathedral, played by Birmingham-based organist, Paul Carr, in his début recording.
A brilliantly-colourful programme of French and French-inspired works, chosen to match the distinctively-Gallic character of the St Chad’s organ.
Includes many works new to the catalogue.
A must-hear recording of this wonderful recently-built organ, and some little-known new works.
