Gloucester Cathedral Organ Recital and Demonstration
October 2021

During October half-term 2021, Jonathan filmed an online demonstration and concert on the organ of Gloucester Cathedral, where he is Assistant Director of Music and principal cathedral organist. This was made possible by the expert technical skills of Richard McVeigh, Jonathan’s predecessor at Winchester Cathedral. Due to Richard’s genius, the sound of the organ and the cathedral’s 8-second acoustic is captured second to none, and there are many brilliant shots both of the cathedral building and of the organ console as Jonathan plays.

The programme for the recital video is:
J. S. Bach Prelude and Fugue in G (BWV 541)
Elgar Froissart Overture (transcribed by JH, 2020)
Vierne Deuxième symphonie, op. 20 - Allegro; Choral; Scherzo; Cantabile; Final

Happy listening!
