Following on from his JS Bach Complete Organ Works collection performed on the organ at Trinity College Cambridge, David Goode returns with an album of organ works by WA Mozart. It is well known that Mozart highly esteemed the organ as an instrument (for example, his famous ‘King of Instruments’ remark) and enjoyed improvising at length. However, this sadly did not translate into writing for the instrument. Organist David Goode explores these works, and those which even may not have been intended for organ, and discusses in his programme notes how best to render them for two hands and feet, and how to register them suitably.
★★★★ – “…There are charming little pieces ranging from the early Londoner Skizzenbuch to the late gem of an Andante in F, K616. The two big works are impressively played, making the most of the neo-classical Metzler organ at Trinity College, Cambridge” – BBC Music Magazine
