Our Take

John Scott Whiteley's "Minster Spectacular! Organ Favourites From York Minster" is a joyous celebration of the power and majesty of the organ. This album is like taking a musical journey through the grand halls and soaring vaulted ceilings of York Minster itself.

From the moment the first notes of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor cascade through the speakers, you know you're in for a wild ride. Whiteley's masterful playing is both precise and exhilarating, as he effortlessly navigates the intricate passages and thunderous crescendos of these iconic organ compositions.

Tracks like Widor's Toccata from Symphony No. 5 and Vierne's Carillon de Westminster showcase Whiteley's technical prowess and musical sensitivity, while his interpretation of Elgar's "Nimrod" from the Enigma Variations is nothing short of sublime.

But it's not all bombast and grandeur on this album. Whiteley also shows his more introspective side with delicate and haunting pieces like Franck's Panis Angelicus and Duruflé's Ubi Caritas.

Overall, "Minster Spectacular! Organ Favourites From York Minster" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and power of the organ. Whiteley's talent and passion shine through in every note, making this album a true delight for the ears. So, grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported to the awe-inspiring world of York Minster.
