Richard Lester (organ)About
Richard’s career as an organist is equally celebrated in this country and abroad, where he enjoys performing the Romantic and Modern organ repertoire; especially music by Vierne, Reger, Hindemith and Messiaen. In 1995 he was invited to perform Elgar’s Organ Sonata at St Paul’s Cathedral for the 50th VJ anniversary celebrations; and in 2013 his recital at St Mark’s in Venice and at Bergamo Cathedral drew capacity audiences.
As one of Nimbus Records’ ‘most popular artists’, his recordings were lauded by Gramophone and twice awarded the ‘outstanding’ accolade from International Record Review. More recently his Frescobaldi opus on period instruments gained an entry into the Penguin Guide to the 1000 Finest Classical Recordings.
In 2018, Musicweb International voted Lester’s distinguished survey of Bach’s Harpsichord Works, Volume 2, as one of their recordings of the year.
The organ in St Luke’s Church, Buckfastleigh, is an instrument by Eminent organ builders. The sound is produced from digitally recorded pipe samples and completed by a professional organ ‘voicer’ who finishes the instrument in its location, much like the process of regulating and voicing a pipe organ. This organ also utilizes a very high-quality custom-designed audio system affording a splendid recreation of a Cathedral organ in a moderately spacious acoustic.
