Simon Preston (organ)About
compiled together for the first time in a 2-CD set, with new booklet notes on the music and a tribute to Simon Preston.
This anthology is one of five newly remastered sets canvasing Simon Preston’s complete solo organ recordings for Argo. They also include Preston’s recordings of Messiaen (ELQ4824917), ‘Simon Preston at Westminster Abbey’ (ELQ4824933), and 20th-century organ music (ELQ4824925) by Elgar, Hindemith and Maxwell Davies, and an organ spectacular featuring the Variations on America (ELQ4828101) of Charles Ives.
“Simon Preston, the brilliant young player … has already made several records, but this is perhaps his best so far … he gives performances which are specially notable for their sense of continuity and rhythmic control.” - Gramophone, October 1964 (Reubke and Reger)
“Simon Preston plays Franck in a way that pleases the English ear, gauges tempi and climaxes skilfully, and wrests from King’s organ colours that do no disservice to this music.” - Musical Times, December 1963
