Listening to this on BBC radio3, probably be available for a few days.
Opening with Gigout Grand Choer, followed by BWV 582 - Passacaglia & Fugue
The Gigout is an arrangement for organ and brass ensemble, not impressed, much prefer the Wimborne organ recording; in this arrangement the brass ensemble spoilt it for me not helped by the slight discontinuity in the changeovers from brass to organ and back; maybe I'm to familiar with the recorded version.
The Passacaglia I thought was a little quicker than I'm used to and a bit harsh and heavy in places.
I'm skipping the rest of the concert.
