Beyond the Score

A disc of spectacular improvisations based on the plainchant of the feast of Whitsuntide. This album is one of the first recordings of the re-built organ at Gloucester cathedral Beyond The Score marks and contributes to the emerging “English Renaissance” in organ improvisation. As an art form, improvisation is greatly under-represented on recordings; the number of English recordings can be counted on the fingers of one hand! By devoting an entire album to improvisation we value the tradition as highly as that of the written-down repertoire. Long may it flourish!
