Sir Edward Bairstow was born in Huddesfield in 1874 and although being an assistant master at St.George's Windsor he studied the organ with Walter Alcock. Articled to Frederick Bridge at Westminster Abbey he had a period at Durham University before taking up organ posts at Wigan, and onto York Minster in 1913 - a post where he remained until 1946.
Although Bairstow was chiefly associated with York Minster this programme of his complete works for organ features Daniel Cook's latest survey of the works of a British composer on the fine Harrison and Harrison organ in Durham Cathedral an instrument that Bairstow undoubtedly knew and played.
At present this is the only current recording of these works on a single album.
