Thomas Trotter
The Mander East organ of St Giles Cripplegate
108 in stock
Description
The Mander East organ at St Giles Cripplegate was built in 2008 as a small instrument for practice, teaching, services and concerts.
Here international virtuoso, Thomas Trotter (described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘one of the greatest living organists’), who gave the opening recital on the new organ in April 2008, demonstrates the range of this marvellous new instrument and the astonishing wealth of colour that can be obtained from its mere 15 stops in a programme of music from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries.
