This first-ever survey of his organ music reveals a vigorously contrapuntal style, one which reconciles a taste for crunchy dissonance with a strong sense of melodic direction, its moods ranging from angular elegance to fierce climaxes swirling with energy and glittering with light.

The organist here is Tom Winpenny, Assistant Master of the Music at St Albans Cathedral and one of Britain’s brightest young stars in the organ firmament.
