Donald Nicolson - OrganFrench Classical organ tradition, where elegance, clarity, and expressive nuance shaped some of the era’s most captivating music. Works by François Couperin, Louis Marchand, Jean-François Dandrieu, and Nicolas de Grigny reveal a world of refined character pieces, majestic liturgical settings, and exquisite agréments — from intimate devotion to ceremonial splendour. Played on the historic St Paul's organ, built int 1864 by J.W. Walker, expect a few surprises from Dieterich Buxtehude , to add a dash of fiery North German contrast – inventive, dramatic, and full of rhetorical power. Together, these works illuminate the diversity and artistry of the Baroque organ — and, at times, its thrilling, roof-shaking force.
