“I enjoyed the sound quality of this disc and it passed the test of ‘like being in the church’. Francesca Massey has provided a varied and interesting programme that showcases the features of this splendid and historically important organ.”
- John France, MusicWeb International
This release from Priory Records celebrates the previously overlooked organ of King's Lynn Minster in Norfolk with a collection of 18th- and 19th-century repertoire performed by award-winning musician Francesca Massey, the first woman to be appointed organist at Durham Cathedral. Built by Wordsworth of Leeds in 1895 as a restoration of the original 1754 Snetzler organ, Massey uses the instrument to tease out a hymn, a sonata, a voluntary, a folk song, and several other diverse pieces by composers such as J.S. Bach and Max Reger, displaying this organ's versatility and her own exceptional musical command.
