Following a successful concert series of Felix Mendelssohn's complete organ works at St Paul's Cathedral in 2021, Samuel Bristow marks the 30th anniversary of the installation of the Mander organs at Chelmsford Cathedral by recording Mendelssohn's revolutionary set of Organ Sonatas, Op. 65. The sonatas contain such a wide breadth of moods and textures that an equally wide range of colours can be explored on both contrasting yet complementary instruments. This album acts as a testament to the completion of a unique musical vision, with Mendelssohn's music a perfectly fitting vehicle to celebrate their strengths.
