There is music of whisper-light delicacy and music of earth-shaking grandeur, and every possible shade and timbre in between.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eA second disc, released in 1993 and included as CD2 of this collection, continues this magical pairing of master-organist and world-renowned instrument, while extensive liner notes trace the organ's fascinating history.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eDisc 3 takes us to Melbourne, where Drury explores the power and the subtlety of another splendid instrument: the T.C. Lewis organ in St Paul's Cathedral. Across all three discs, Drury offers a dazzling range of repertoire, from monumental organ works by Reger and Liszt to orchestral classics by Bach, Elgar, Saint-Sa\\xebns and Wagner, brilliantly arranged for the 'king of instruments'. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis collection also features thrilling improvisations by Drury himself - the only Australian ever to win the prestigious Tournemire Prize for improvisation.\u003cp\u003eCD1 Music For A Grand Organ : MENDELSSOHN Arr.
