Mon 19 January, Leeds Cathedral
Darius Battiwalla
Percy Whitlock’s Plymouth Suite was composed for an organists’ conference in 1939 and is one of his most popular works. Like Herbert Hollins’ Toccata, which closes the recital, it belongs firmly in the concert hall tradition of English organ music. Fela Sowande’s Kyrie is based on a Yoruba church melody, showing the influence of his time as organist of Kingsway Hall in London.
This concert is available to watch online until Wednesday 4 March.
Mon 12 January, Leeds Cathedral
Gordon Stewart
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passacaglia forms the centrepiece of a programme which shows the wide range of pieces that always make his programmes so popular and entertaining, from the rousing opening march by Noel Rawsthorne to the final Toccata by the Italian virtuoso Marco Enrico Bossi.
This concert is available to watch online until Sunday 15 February.
