Christopher Stokes performs iconic English Romantic works by Elgar and Stanford on the organ of Manchester Cathedral (Harrison & Harrison rebuilt 1952/7 incorporating Hill pipework from 1871).
This organ has since been replaced by Tickell & Co 2015/17 making this an important legacy recording.
Includes Elgar’s substantial Sonata in G and a spirited Pomp and Circumstance IV transcription, and Stanford’s Fantasia and Toccata, op.57.
