Martin Stacey playing other works:
The 1883 Henry Willis organ in St Dominic's Priory (London)
Organ Sonata in G major Op.28 (Edward Elgar)
For an instrument of such international fame, it is extraordinary that there are no recordings available of the 1883 Henry Willis organ in St Dominic's Priory. Until such time as I am able to make commercial CDs these live recordings from concerts will offer some insight into the incredible sound of this unaltered instrument. Grateful thanks go to Alan Hodgetts who has been recording our concerts selflessly for the last 15 years. We hold free recitals on the second Saturday of every month at 7pm. Since these are live recordings however, appologies for occasional mistakes.
The Walker organ in St John the Evangelist, Islington (London)
Dreame & Fugue Angelicall (Neil Wright)
Fantasia & Fugue on BACH (David Bevan)
These recordings were part of a CD made by Priory Records featuring the music of two English composers, Neil Wright and David Bevan. The majority of the disc is choral music but I was asked to preform these two solo organ works. They were both made in one single take so there is no editing.
Vision of Christ-Phoenix (Malcolm Williamson)
Introduction, Variations & Fugue on an original theme Op.73 (Max Reger)
These two recordings (Williamson and Reger) formed part of a concert given in 1999 at St John the Evangelist (Islington) and were reviewed by Felix Apprahamian in The Church Times: "Spell-binding. His digital and pedal dexterity is flawless. More remarkably, he seems to feel what lies behind the printed notes of Reger's vast Introduction, Variation & Fugue Op.73, distilling musical poetry from its daunting pages. We were moved and edified."
The organ in St John’s, Upper Norwood (London)
These two recordings form part of Jennifer Bate's complete Mendelssohn on 5 CDs issued by Somm. Martin plays the lower part and pedals while Jennifer plays the upper parts.
