| Abstract |
Three feature length documentaries form the centrepiece of this luxuriant boxed set which traces the history and development of the organ and its music in England from c1550 to the present, showing the vibrant culture of the organ and its music, and how this mirrors the broader narrative of English history. The DVDs also include filmed performances of eight hours of music from Byrd to the present day, played on thirty-three iconic organs by Daniel Moult. Each organ has a filmed demonstration or portrait. This amounts to a magnificent portrait of an instrument and a culture. |
