in Choir & Organ (Jul, 2014)
The organ at Leatherhead rose from the ashes of a Walker instrument destroyed by fire in 1989. Extraordinary good fortune allowed a body of pipework and other material from that instrument’s predecessor, built in 1766 by Thomas Parker and re-used in 1873, to be recovered and to form the basis for Goetze and Gwynn’s exceptional reconstruction completed in 2007. It sounds splendid here in Robert Woolley’s sensitive hands and in a programme which serves to remind us of the expressive combination of Handel’s music (especially in such poignant works as the chromatic Fugue in A minor) and the English organ of the period. Special mention must be made of Woolley’s use …
