The organ of St Katherine's Cathedral Church, Lincoln

Dr. Marc Barker-Naylor playing Kenneth Cook's Sacred Prelude no.2, at a lunchtime organ recital. These free recitals are held every Friday at 1:00PM.
The organ was built by Jardine & Kirtland in the 1850s, largely inspired by contemporary organ building in France. Originally built for St. Peter's Church in Manchester, it was relocated to the newly consecrated St. Katherine's Cathedral Church in 2013. Much of the work is currently incomplete, with the organ yet to have most of its pedal and choir ranks installed, as well as the facade pipes. Despite currently being the equivalent of a two-manual organ, it is surprisingly powerful in the relatively small nave space in the church. It is certainly unusual to find what was originally a 5 manual organ in a church of this size, and it is therefore certainly possible for the organ to be played "too loud". The windows in the organ gallery apparently have a tendency to cause the pipes to heat up and go out of tune (as is evident here with the reeds, yet still sounding commanding), so will eventually be blacked out. Funding for the completion of the organ is secured, so after dealing with some general technicalities it should be in its full form very soon.
I recorded videos of several of the pieces in the recital, regrettably not this particular piece, probably the most profound demonstration of the organ's present resources and range of timbres in the recital. Instead, the the video and photographs from elsewhere in the recital accompanies a sound recording of the piece made concurrently. Seeing hands playing different music to what is being heard surely would be off-putting, so I kept close shots to a minimum.
