The Sydney Organ Journal tells us who is performing at the Friday recitals at St Andrew's each week, but it still doesn't tell us what music is being played. This is regretable. I, for one, am reluctant to venture all the way into the cathedral on a Friday, knowing that I might well find myself listening to music that I find uncongenial and can't relate to.
Perhaps this Yahoo group could be a place in which we are givewn information about the cathedral recital each week ?
I'll start the trend, by proclaiming that I'll be playing Cesar Franck's Choral #2 and his Pastorale this Friday (June 26th). Also, at the risk of making a complete fool of myself, I'll be playing some little compositions of my own. I hope this wont be a case of "the siblime to the ridiculous !"
