  05-10-2016 19:43 via cambridge-news.co.uk
  
  The average concert-goer enjoys occasional organ recitals, but one doesn't see many reviews of them, which is strange given such a vast and outstanding repertoire for organ together with the role it plays in the daily demands of the liturgical year. The sounds emanating from that great phalanx of inscrutable and unmoving pipes are being created by someone, somewhere, not only displaying the keyboard virtuosity of the concert pianist but also producing an identical ability with the feet, and all.
