Gerard Brooks, celebrated for his interpretations of French Romantic repertoire, assesses the organ works of Eugène Gigout. We also explore Roxanna Panufnik’s new Cum Jubilo Organ Mass, which she describes to Huw Morgan. Two influential organists from different eras are considered: C. S. Lang, whose tenure at Christ’s Hospital was so legendary, and Christopher Bowers-Broadbent, the eminent organist-composer who celebrated his eightieth birthday in January. A wide variety of new instruments are visited, from the four-manual Eule at Magdalen College Oxford to the growing collection of organs at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. We hear about two legendary improvisers – Daniel Roth and Martin Baker – and take a trip to Belgium for the latest instalment in our postcard series. Jason Tang, currently a Master’s student at the Royal Academy of Music, examines ‘Tudorism’ in Herbert Howells’ works, tracing the influence of composers such as Byrd and Farnaby – via Vaughan Williams – that inspired Howells to write Master Tallis’s Testament with its Elizabethan inflections.
