Author: Ivan March

The organ in Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral is not an easy beast for recording engineers to tame. The resonance is considerable and although the instrument's palette does not lack piquancy and bite, it can too easily become muddled. The choice of programme is important, too, and lan Tracey does well to open with the most famous number from Handel's Water Music. The later choice of Walton's Crown Imperial was less apt: this needs the sharp articulation of strings and brass and for all its amplitude, the organ is not an effective substitute. But the rest of the programme projects admirably. The Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor is powerfully direct and the flute stops bring much charm to Bach's Badinerie and Yon's Toccatina. The pedals come into their own in the Reger and especially in the famous closing Widor Toccata.
There is plenty of musical variety here, and Tracey clearly knows his organ and is in complete technical command. An enjoyable, popular programme presented with freshness, as well as spectacle when appropriate.'
