This (the latest in Willowhayne Records' Experience series) showcases the organ in the abbey at Engelberg, Switzerland. Built by Goll and restored by Graf, this instrument comprises 9000 pipes, spread over four manuals with 137 stops. Among Markus Kühnis' teachers were Jean Langlais and Hans Vollenweider. This new album is a welcome departure from a traditional organ programme, being instead a collection of the artist's own transcriptions, all of which are played with astonishing virtuosity and are guaranteed to make the listener smile. There is something here for everyone from Rossini's William Tell Overture to Mexican dances. Album Tracks 1. Overture InchWilliam TellInch 2. Cantata BWV 208~Sheep May Safely Graze 3.

Jonathan Hope returns to Willowhayne Records to present the sixth in their critically acclaimed 'Experience' series. Played on the stunning Harrison & Harrison organ of St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol, (of which Arthur Harrison considered the instrument his best work), Jonathan Hope has chosen a selection of pieces that are perfectly suited to show off all the colors of this magnificent instrument, with the album including his own transcriptions of Brahms' Tragic Overture and Elgar's In the South (Alassio). Several of the works on this are receiving here their world premiere recordings.
