The Mander East organ of St Giles Cripplegate
Thomas Trotter

GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE – DECEMBER 2009
"Hearing the organ dancing and singing under the hands and feet of a virtuoso player is truly joyful"

“this is a very intelligently-planned and brilliantly carried off project.”

International Records Review June 2009

"Here we have all the ingredients that make a wonderful CD; a small organ, repertoire that spans from the 16th through to the 20th centuries, an excellent recording company and an international virtuoso. Trotter's dynamics... coupled with is ability to register the perfect stop combinations, make his programme fascinating."

Organists' Review August 2009

The new Mander East organ at St Giles Cripplegate was built in 2008 as a small instrument for practice, teaching, services and concerts.

Here international virtuoso, Thomas Trotter (described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘one of the greatest living organists’), who gave the opening recital on the new organ in April 2008, demonstrates the range of this marvellous new instrument and the astonishing wealth of colour that can be obtained from its mere 15 stops in a programme of music from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries.
