HAVPCD265 – The Nicholson organs in Portsmouth Cathedral Transcriptions of orchestral music

The organ has always lent itself to the playing of all forms of orchestral music in transcription. This recording shows the variety and range of orchestral colours available on the two Nicholson organs in Portsmouth Cathedral. Almost all the music is chosen from the turn of the 19th century into the early 20th, though the programme opens with two works from the baroque era.
