 Herbert Howells organ music (Vol. 2) Tjeerd van der Ploeg plays the Hill-organ of Selby Abbey
Psalm-Prelude Set 1 Opus 32, no. 2; no. 3
His refined harmonic and rhytmic expression is the heart of his music. [...] Howells manages to combine the harmonies of earlier periods with his own harmonic timbres. Thus he creates his own style and gains a unique place in English musical culture .Tjeerd van der Ploeg does him justice.
The large Hill organ of 72 stops in Selby Abbey, built in 1909, is of course ideally suited to this very special music. The quality of the recording is lovely, and the booklet contains much infornation of good quality |
