Thomas Trotter (organ)About
This programme contains a kaleidoscopic mix of the secular (concertos) and the sacred (organ voluntaries) from that period, including works by Handel, Corelli, JC Bach, and John Stanley.
Christ Church Spitalfields is an Anglican church built between 1714 and 1729 to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor. It was one of the first churches built for the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches, to serve London’s new settlements.
The organ installed in the new church in 1735 is the masterpiece of one of Georgian London’s leading organ-makers, Richard Bridge (c1688–1758). It could claim to be the largest organ in England at the time of its construction, and retained that distinction until the nineteenth century.
‘...a sleight of hand that's as slick as a conjurer's....clarity rhythmic buoyancy, stylistic taste, imaginative colouring – and the ability to amaze.’ - Gramophone (REGDVD001)
‘...impressive: exciting and delivered with flair without ever being flashy.’ - International Record Review (REGDVD001)
‘Scorching virtuosity...’ - Choir and Organ (REGCD322)
‘Trotter’s choice of stops is well nigh perfect, his dexterity formidable ...a performance full of expressive character.’ - BBC Radio 3 CD Review (REGCD256)
‘...throughout this superbly engineered recording his mastery of tonal gradation, innate stylistic sense and imaginative colouring make for a recording as rewarding as it is timely.’ - Gramophone (REGCD256)
