Anne Page
Rieger Organ of St Marylebone Parish Church, London
Description
‘…It opens and closes with toccatas, the Toccata ritmica providing an incisive, modernist twist on a Baroque form that builds up mysterious energy, especially in the hands (and feet) of the Australian-born, Cambridge-based organist Anne Page. All her performances exploit the colours of the neoclassical Rieger organ (1987) at St Marylebone Parish Church. ’ ★★★★ BBC Music Magazine June 2026
‘The choice of St Marylebone is ideal, and Anne Page’s authoritative playing brings the entire disc alive, with energy and sensitivity in equal measures. Not only has this recording taken me back to my own happy years at the same conservatoire in Geneva, it is also highly enjoyable listening – thoroughly recommended..’ Organists’ Review September 2026
‘Page has made an entertaining selection of his numerous organ pieces. They are colorful, witty, dramatic, improvisatory, and often adventurous in their harmonic language-well worth the attention of organists.
She is fine player and effectively exploits the colors of the 1987 4-manual, 54-stop Rieger organ in St Marylebone Parish Church in London. ’ American Record Guide September/October 2026
