Daniel Hyde - Live from King's

[Roger Judd]

Flagging this up rather late in the day, but did anyone listen to R3 yesterday evening (Wednesday) to the organ recital by Dan Hyde celebrating César Franck and the Ste-Clotilde tradition? A well-put-together programme including Chorals 1 & 3, along with music by Langlais, Duruflé, Bonnal, Boulay and J.Alain. Fine playing, as you'd expect, and the un-French organ made to sound more French than you'd expect!
A bonus was Martin Handley compèring.

Thanks for the heads-up Roger! I'll listen on catch-up when I can.

Just listened to the first half and enjoyed it very much, lovely performance of the only two Franck pieces I like (PF&V and Choral N° 1) and the Duruflé

[Keraulophone]

the only two Franck pieces I like (PF&V and Choral N° 1)

I am intrigued to enquire what don't you like about, say, his Third Choral?

Choral N° 1 happens to be my favourite of the three, especially when begun on a multitude of 8ft stops (preferably on a large AC-C organ) drawn and coupled, though each one is so different that for the purpose of Desert Island Discs the 'Trios Chorals' should be requested.

Oh dear, Having been away for a short time, I looked for the DH recital on BBC Sounds and it said 'this episode is no longer available'. Can anyone help me find it or post up a link?

The resuscitated thread was actually started last year.

Silly me.
