Our Take

Introducing John Kitchen, the maestro of the Usher Hall Organ - a man who manages to make a seemingly old-fashioned instrument shine brighter than a disco ball on a Saturday night. Kitchen effortlessly weaves through complex compositions with the grace of a ballerina and the swagger of a rockstar.

The album opens with the grandeur of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, a true showcase of Kitchen's technical prowess and his ability to transport listeners to a different dimension. The precision with which he executes each note is nothing short of mind-blowing.

But Kitchen isn't afraid to venture into contemporary territory, as evidenced by his mesmerising rendition of Philip Glass's Mad Rush. The delicate interplay between the pipes is a testament to his versatility as a musician.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Kitchen's interpretation of Mendelssohn's Sonata No. 3 in A major. The way he navigates through the intricate passages is nothing short of breathtaking, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats.

Overall, The Usher Hall Organ is a triumph of musical innovation and virtuosity. John Kitchen's masterful command of the instrument is a sight to behold, and this album is a must-listen for any music lover looking to be dazzled by the magic of the organ. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
