This organ does LOUD like no other! Blackburn Cathedral - an astonishing experience!

I am so thankful to ‪@JohnHoskingGreatOrganSounds‬ for the invitation to play the incredible organ of Blackburn Cathedral: and this is an opportunity that would not have materialized without the wonderful ‪@beautyinsound‬ community - thank you Richard! It was an honor to meet Dr. John Bertalot, and I am indebted to the hospitality of John Robinson and all of the staff and clergy at ‪@BlackburnCathedralTV‬ made my time there so memorable. I hope you enjoy this recording of what will forever be a special day for me!
