Timothy Parsons - Timothy Parsons Plays the Organ of Exeter Cathedral

This is an album from Exeter Cathedral's brilliant young assistant organist, Timothy Parsons. The programme combines popular virtuoso showpieces from the repertoire by Mendelssohn, Elgar, Vierne, Messiaen, and Duruflé, together with smaller-scale works showing the ravishing quieter colours of the instrument. Two of these works are by composers associated with Exeter Cathedral - Matthew Locke in the seventeenth century, and Samuel Sebastian Wesley in the nineteenth - and there are three 'Chorale Preludes' by Brahms which beautifully demonstrate the rich flutes of the Exeter instrument. There are two recent contemporary works: Mark Blatchly's 'Andante Sostenuto for TJYP' - written for Timothy Parsons - and Nico Muhly's 'The Revd Mustard His Installation Prelude' - written for the installation service of Muhly's friend the Reverend James Mustard as Rector of St Mary the Virgin, East Barnet.
