Duruflé: Requiem; Poulenc: Four Lenten Motets (CD Review)
by Karl NehringThe Choir of Trinity College Cambridge; Harrison Cole, organ; Stephen Layton, conductor. Hyperion CDA68436I will freely admit to knowing very little about the French composer Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986). To be honest, until studying the CD booklet and doing a quick bit of supplementary research, I had no idea he was so relatively modern, living until 1986.

Organ Reborn! Norwich Cathedral Organ Festival: A new music festival for Norwich
[…] Members of the congregation must be seated by 2.45pm. Acclaimed JS Bach specialist, Anne Page, will give a recital of works by this great German composer and musician of the late Baroque period (Monday, 8 July, 8pm) in what promises an exciting and popular programme.

Based in Cambridge, she directed the Cambridge Summer Recitals for eight years presenting a host of world and UK first performances and bringing several major recitalists from Europe to Britain for the first time. She made her London début playing a 20th-century repertoire at the Royal Festival Hall. Tickets £12. Seating unreserved. And star of the organ world and, indeed, social media sensation, Anna Lapwood, will put the […]
