I notice this is an organ recital!
'Colin Walsh, Organist Laureate of Lincoln Cathedral, puts the cathedral's mighty 'Father Willis' organ, completed in 1898, through its paces in a spectacular programme of the virtuoso French music which is his particular speciality. He includes works by several of the most significant composers in 20th-century French organ literature, as well as the 19th-century Cesar Franck - Belgian by birth, but the father-figure of the 20th-century French organ style.'
Now I don't really follow organ music programming as such, but how long is it since the main evening broadcast was an organ recital? I know it was a regular complaint on the old message board that music for organ was neglected on Radio 3, apart from the end of evensong broadcasts.
