Man, talent really runs in this family! Bravo!! And Richard, my condolences on the loss of your grandfather. Requiescat in pace Patrick Gowers.
My compliments to both Mr. Gowers !
Great music! It makes me sometimes think of Escaich, but it has its own beauty.
Great music - great Musician. Thanks for that. Greetings to Patrick!
I arrived here via "Smiley's People" Congratulations Richard great performance.
I enjoyed it. In fact it reminds me of when I was in Junior High and I would listen in on the organist at the church nearby as he practiced his music.
Edgy. I love it.
Just picked up. Yes well done Richard Gowers - excellent. The other version played by Christopher Hughes is available on OXCD-65 (The Organs of Eton College - Vol1) or as a track download. Link here: www.oxrecs.com/2013EtonV1.html

I LOVE this piece, but it sounds (I'm not a organist) FIENDISH!
This is the kind of music which gives the organ a bad name with the public. ("Belly-acher" organ music, as I once heard it expressed.)
Clearly, there is something of merit in it, or no-one would care for it, but it's hardly likely to encourage a love of the organ in someone coming to it for the first time.
Is there not a video showing this organ in a less discordant mood?
To be fair, this is not music for people that are new to the organ.
I agree.
Unfortunately, it is offered, here, to the public and some of them will hear this and think, "Organ? Never again!"
With a wealth of more accessible, quality organ music to chose from, I think an offering like this does the cause of the organ no good at all. (And, let's face it, the organ and its music is irrelevant to the great majority of the musically-interested public. It can do without being shot in the foot.)
That is certainly true, and I see where you're coming from.
However, I think it's important to offer something to those of us who are already well versed in organ music. One does grow tired of listening to Bach and Vierne after a while.
What on earth are you talking about? This is like condemning James Joyce because his works are too difficult for beginners at English. Nonsense!
Ton Mahler Not really. This is pretentious rubbish. That's the difference.
