Giovanni Morandi - Rondo con imitazione de campanelli - Ben Bloor

Rondo con imitazione de campanelli by Giovanni Morandi performed by Ben Bloor on the 57 stop 1866 Henry Speechly organ of the St Lawrence's Church, Alton, Hampshire in a live recital on Tuesday 9th July 2024.
Morandi had a large output of organ music and was an early teacher of Gioachino Rossini. An unashamedly flashy piece, this piece, as the title suggests, is designed to imitate a peal of bells.
Many thanks to Tony Willman and Gerald Marlow for their help facilitating this recital.
Ben Bloor is Organist at the London Oratory Church and School Organist at Westminster School.

As this piece exudes so much joy and exuberance in its 'pealing of bells' on an instrument that sparkles, an excellent choice for Christmas morning: bravo, Ben!

One thing I appreciate about you Ben is you dig out obscure but interesting repertoire. I hope you have had a lovely (and not too busy) Christmas.
