About
The organ was a formative part of Edward Elgar’s musical upbringing, and for a time he was organist at St George’s Catholic Church in Worcester. The symphonic scale and distinctive themes of the First Sonata contrast with the more liturgical atmosphere of the Vesper Voluntaries, while the rousing Second Sonata is an arrangement of Elgar’s Severn Suite for brass. This album comprises Elgar’s original works for organ as well as the complete arrangements made by the composer himself and those made by four distinguished contemporary organists.

Reviews
“…Enthusiastically and urgently recommended!”
“In a strong field of new organ recordings, Tom Winpenny’s complete Elgar stands out. He makes a strong case for the early Vesper Voluntaries … The Hereford instrument has just the requisite balance of mellowness and power…” – Malcolm Riley
“Tom Winpenny’s discography and stature as an organist goes from strength to strength and this new disc is another impressive contribution to them. I have to say I enjoyed every aspect of this disc; wonderful music played with virtuosity and sensitivity on an instrument and in a space that the composer himself would have known well…”
“… Throughout this recital Winpenny reveals that he is a natural Elgarian, coaxing many delicious combinations from the Hereford Willis… this is an album of strong, committed and painstakingly fine organ-playing.”
