Sydney’s favourite organist returns to the console of the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ for another breathtaking recital.

Description

The program begins with Johann Sebastian Bach’s great Toccata and Fugue in D minor. (Yes, the famous one!) Orchestras might be able to play this music, but there’s simply nothing to match the power and flexibility of the organ sound especially when the organist is David Drury. 

The program begins with Johann Sebastian Bach’s great Toccata and Fugue in D minor. (Yes, the famous one!) Orchestras might think be able to play this music, but there’s simply nothing to match the power and flexibility of the organ sound. 

The ethereal sound of women’s voices joins the mix for Brahms and music by German organist Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Louis Vierne shows the organ’s meditative face; Mozart its dramatic verve. And Karg-Elert brings the program to a close with a spectacular march based on the hymn “Now thank we all our God”. Behold the King of Instruments!

JS BACH Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
BRAHMS Ave Maria
KARG-ELERT Fugue, Canzona and Epilogue
VIERNE Organ Symphony No.3: Adagio
