Choir & Organ Magazine Sept - Oct 2014 Vorige editie

With Swiss organ builders Kuhn celebrating their 150th anniversary this year, we trace the firm’s development and showcase some of their impressive catalogue of new and restored instruments; Boston’s Handel and Haydn Society enters its third century with Harry Christophers at the helm; and David Wordsworth takes a look at how Shakespeare’s words have inspired choral composers over the centuries and selects some recommended settings. Plus, Flentrop restores the City of London’s Dutch Church organ; David Hill completes his survey of Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius; Voces8’s new milestone recording contract with Decca Classics; a look back over 90 years of premieres and commissions from the BBC Singers; Kenneth Tickell obituary; and our scholarships and voice trials supplement.
