We are keeping up our exploration of the keyboardist Wayne Marshall’s discography with his first solo album for EMI, a blaring collection of organ showpieces including a transcription of Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre, the Toccata and Pontifical March by Widor, Bach’s famous Toccata in D (which Marshall’s rendition is a big streaming hit). A substantial part of this album (Dupré, Schmidt, Vierne…) is made available digitally for the first time. It is performed on a radiant instrument built by Harrison & Harrison in 1962 for the new St Michael’s cathedral of Coventry.
