Info zu Stanford: Organ Works

Featuring four world premieres this album includes a mix of both well and lesser-known organ works by Stanford, including the Fantasia and Toccata in D minor and the Postlude in D minor through to the early Prelude and Fugue in E minor and the pastoral idyll By the Seashore.

Organist Tom Winpenny presents a unique recital programme of Stanford organ works from the James J. Binns organ of Queens' College, University of Cambridge.

Winner of both the First and Audience Prizes at the 2008 Miami International Organ Competition, this recording - on the unspoilt Binns organ of 1892 - is the first commercial solo recording to be released by Tom Winpenny.
