William CROFT, Musique d'orgue

The organ of Christ Church, Spitalfields, recently restored, is one of the most important in England. The largest ever built in the British Isles at the time of its completion in 1735 by Richard Bridge, it is the perfect instrument for English 18th Century music – justly regarded as a golden age in keyboard music.
