The fifth disc from Regent entirely devoted to the compositions of David Bednall, and the first recording of his solo organ works, played by Paul Walton on the organ of Blackburn Cathedral. The works on this recording span David Bednall’s compositional career to date. The Adagio was one of his earliest pieces, and Triptych in Honour of Herbert Howells is a major new work especially written for this recording. Two of the releases of his music on Regent have been Editor’s Choice in Gramophone, most recently Stabat Mater in the 2016 Awards issue.

This new recording of Bednall’s solo organ music is played on the magnficent Walker organ of Blackburn Cathedral by the brilliant young organist, Paul Walton.
