The Rodgers 960 Classical Organ was one of two Rodgers organs installed in Gloucester Cathedral while the pipe organ was out of action for most of 1999 during its restoration. Because the Chancel is separated from the nave by a screen on which the pipe organ and console are sited, two instruments were installed: a large two-manual in the Nave for congregational services and the 960 in the Chancel to accompany the daily Offices.

David Briggs writes: ‘It was a great pleasure to invite the celebrated international organist Wayne Marshall to share in the celebrations for the re-opening of the re-built organ in Gloucester Cathedral. The duo concert took place on 29 January in front of a packed cathedral, and most of the pieces which you hear on this recording featured in the concert, although the CD was not made until 24/25 February (in two sessions stretching late into the night).’
