Thomas Arne Roger Bevan Williams Cantilena Adrian Shepherd - The Six Organ Concertos
Review by Trina DePauw
The album "The Six Organ Concertos" by Thomas Arne, performed by Roger Bevan Williams, Cantilena, and Adrian Shepherd, is a delightful collection of Baroque music. The album features six concertos for solo organ and orchestra, each showcasing Arne's masterful and intricate compositions.
The performances on this album are superb. Roger Bevan Williams' organ playing is impeccable, with his precise and expressive playing capturing the nuances of Arne's complex works. The orchestral accompaniment by Cantilena is equally impressive, with Adrian Shepherd conducting with great skill and sensitivity.
The recording quality of the album is excellent, with the sound of the organ and the orchestra balanced perfectly, creating a rich and full-bodied sound. The album is also well-sequenced, with each concerto flowing seamlessly into the next, creating a cohesive listening experience.
