Simon Preston at Westminster Abbey (2CD)
$19.95
From 1962 (when he made his Royal Festival Hall debut) to 1967 and again from 1981 to 1987, Simon Preston held posts at Westminster Abbey, initially as sub-organist then as organist and master of the choristers. These recordings were made during that first period.
The Abbey’s organ is a rather more recent construction, built by Harrison & Harrison, installed in time for the Coronation of King George VI in 1937 and thus still in fine working order when Preston made these recordings.
