Description
An extraordinary collection of extraordinarily virtuoso British and American works for organ from the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, played by one of the world’s foremost exponents of contemporary organ music, Tom Bell. The recording takes its title ‘Freak out’ from one of the performance instructions in William Bolcom’s unique work for organ, percussion (including kit), and electronic tape ‘Black Host’. This instruction, together with others, including ‘Go Ape’, and ‘Detonate’, are words not usually found in the world of organ music!

Reviews
‘The organ and a very resonant Chapel feature prominently in the overall sound qualities of the music by two American and five British composers, all played with considerable élan by the magnificent Tom Bell… The subtitle of the CD is ‘Extraordinary Music for Organ’ – Oh yes, definitely!’ British Music Society
‘Bell plays this extraordinary program with complete understanding and identification with the music, coupled with a total grasp of the huge technical demands.’ American Record Guide Jan/Feb 2022
