David Newsholme (organ)About
Recorded on the ‘Father’ Willis organ of Salisbury Cathedral – one of the greatest English romantic organs – this recording of a selection of Herbert Howells’ solo organ music features three rarely recorded works which were published after the composer’s death, together with the four magnificent Rhapsodies, and the large-scale Organ Sonata of 1932.
Howells was assistant organist at Salisbury Cathedral during the year 1917, and the Salisbury Cathedral organ as it is today is virtually unchanged tonally from the instrument the composer knew, making it a perfect and authentic instrument for the recording of his organ music.
After spending a gap year as Organ Scholar at Salisbury Cathedral, David Newsholme read music at New College, Oxford, where he held both an Academic Scholarship and the Organ Scholarship. In 2009 he was appointed Assistant Director of Chapel Music at Winchester College, a position that he held until 2011, when he moved to his current postion of Assistant Organist at Canterbury Cathedral.
At Canterbury he has performed at numerous high profile occasions, including the installation service for Archbishop Justin Welby, as well as on frequent television and radio broadcasts.
David studied the organ with David Sanger and the harpsichord with David Ledbetter. He continues his organ studies with Pieter van Dyke at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and with Gillian Weir. He currently holds the W T Best Scholarship, a prestigious award bestowed by the Worshipful Company of Musicians, which provides substantial financial support for his continuing keyboard studies.
This disc is David’s first solo organ recording, and is supported by The Herbert Howells Trust.
