Organists' Review Magazine December 2012 Vorige editie

Organists' Review has never had a specifically "Christmas" issue before so this was too good an opportunity to miss. Two corner-stones of the BBC’s sacred Christmas schedule are The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols and Songs of Praise’s The Big Sing. We are therefore very lucky that the
producer of the first and the organist at the second have written articles about them providing an insider’s point-of-view. Rosemary Field keeps the Christmas theme going with You can play this when she offers some suggestions for last-minute pieces.

Just as we had gone to press with our last issue the organ world was rocked by the sad news of Carlo Curley’s early, and unexpected, death. As someone who had known Carlo for 25 years, Joe Riley has contibuted a heart-felt, and heart-warming, tribute to this larger-than-life player.
