| This CD was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bairstow's death in 1946. He was organist of York Minster from 1913 to 1946. A composer of the highest calibre, his choral and organ music are still much in use today. Bairstow was one of this country's leading musicians of the inter-war years and these recordings show the variety of his work as an all round musician. The disc concludes with a spoken tribute to Bairstow by his most eminent pupil, Dr Francis Jackson, his successor as organist of York Minster. |
