Simon Leach: double-organ recital

Simon Leach performs a recital across two significant organs from either end of the 20th Century: the 1919 Norman & Beard / William Hill & Son organ of Marchmont House, and the 1998 Frobenius organ of the Canongate Kirk. The Marchmont instrument was commissioned before William Hill & Son officially merged with Norman and Beard Ltd., and with its ornate case by Lorimer it represents a truly unique part of Scottish organ history. The Canongate instrument is rightly renowned for its exquisite voicing and tonal quality, and is the 1000th organ built by Frobenius. Simon Leach is Organist at Canongate Kirk and Marchmont House, and has recorded this performance especially for GSO.

The performance will be broadcast on YouTube at 3pm, and remains available for 1 month.
