🎵 Martin Baker Gives An Organ Recital On The New BIS Organ!

I am so very excited and utterly thrilled that Martin Baker is to give the inaugural Organ Recital on the new BIS Organ!

Martin has chosen to give an Advent / Christmas themed concert, exploring the theme of 'Darkness to Light'. Bach's Passacaglia starts on a single (and beautiful) Principle 8' and ends on almost full organ, and Widor's 9th Organ Symphony uses Christmas themes as its main theme.

The 2021 Winter BIS Organ Festival Programme is available for download here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Am2NWRzrrmXNjrZkC...

Your Virtual Honesty Ticket is £7.50 / $10, or whatever you choose. Please use https://www.paypal.me/richardmcveigh. As you might be able to imagine, this has taken a lot of work to pull together.

I am very grateful to ‪@Hauptwerkgek‬ for providing me with a very exclusive copy of the surround version of Dudelange.

Using Hauptwerk, Bach and Sweelinck were played on Rotterdam, Widor was played on 'Aristide' and the improvisation was played using the surround version of Dudelange.
