The London thread running through this programme is understandable, but I am not sure it makes much musical sense. Nor does it need to, for this disc focuses on the instrument, and with Priory’s hallmark understanding of the organ, we get to hear this fabulous Harrison & Harrison in fabulous sound. Daniel Cook gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘Cook’s tour’ as he strides knowingly around the instrument’s 100-plus stops providing musical snapshots of the more notable ones.

Walton’s march for the Queen’s coronation in the Abbey, arranged by the then organist Sir William McKie, makes an invigorating opener. Walton would surely have relished the vitality with which Cook infuses his jazz-inspired rhythms. Bach aficionados, on the other hand, will not relish the thundering Englishness of Cook’s take on the Toccata and Fugue in F – provided, that is, they have survived his sickly transcription of the ‘Air on the G String’. Cocker’s Tuba Tune will not disappoint tuba lovers, Whitlock’s Fantasie Choral will appeal to Whitlock lovers (and convert none who are not), and excellent transcriptions of Elgar, Coates and Grainger will entertain everyone. If there is musical meat in this programme, it comes with the Vierne Carillon de Westminster, sounding magnificently at home on this majestic organ, and the scintillating Prelude and Fugue in B by Marcel Dupré which, in Cook’s glittering performance, gives us all the kind of wow factor which Widor’s Toccata used to until it got itself played to exhaustion.

All in all, a populist programme that does a little bit more than merely provide a superb sonic souvenir for the Abbey’s countless visitors.
