Hereford Cathedral | Easter Monday Organ Recital | Peter Dyke

Bravo!!!!! What an outstanding performance of a brilliant program. I had no idea that Hereford Willis was so tonally attractive. I must pay you a visit to hear it live.

It's good to see these organ recitals from different places on-line - I hope they continue even after the pandemic is over and done with. It means we can hear all kinds of different instruments.

Loved the Walton especially - thank you for this. Beautifully played!

Excellent recital and commentary. Thank you.

Praise God!! EXCELLENT

Loud organs his Glory forth tell in deep tones!! Thank you

absolutely wonderful... loved it down here in the Antipodes.

Thank you so much for the Brahms and the Widor!!

A wonderful selection of beautiful music, played with real musicality and skill. So good to have the quieter pieces as foils to the louder and exciting ones. I really enjoyed the recital and hope that there will be more to follow even when the current restrictions have disappeared.

Exquisite, thank you so much! I especially enjoyed the Christopher Dearnley piece - achingly beautiful and unusual. Huge thank you for introducing me to it - I've tracked down the sheet music already. My sight reading is dreadful but I'm very much looking forward to learning it.

Thank you, particularly enjoyed the third, seventh and last.

A fabulous organ . Beautiful Walton piece . Willis organs are truly the best . Liverpool cathedral is my favourite though🤫

Lovely organ Hereford, hope the woodpecker is ok!

Lovely to be able to join you. (Especially enjoyed the first and last items!😉)

Amen!! sublime!!yur rendition n command of English is stunning!!wish i cud be in Hereford soon!!!

Wonderful, and such a "kick" to hear the Walton for solo organ! Some complicated console management required there! The Tuba on your organ sounds fantastic; does it date from "Father" Willis' time, or from a later rebuild? Tuba stops were a no-no for decades, here in the U.S.A., but they didn't seem to know what they were missing. E.M. Skinner made some fine examples here, and I think he was "coached" by one of the Willis dynasty - not sure which one. Your Grieg was really beautiful. Thank you for this great program!

Walton is SO 1950!

Anybody know where I can find sheet music for the Thalben-Ball Vreuchten? Thanks.
