| Roger Fordham organist and pianist |
We had a splendid recital of organ and piano music introduced in a witty and informed manner by blind recitalist Roger Fordham last Wednesday lunchtime at Glenorchy Church.
He played two major organ works by
J.S.Bach, the Preludes and Fugues in C minor and C major BWV 546 and 547, with great
panache.
He then moved to the piano and played very expressively Haydn's Sonata in E
flat major No.1 (which he explained was a very late work though Haydn's quirky
numbering suggests it's early).
He finished by playing beautifully Chopin's
Nocturnes in B flat minor Op 9 No.1 and Op 15 No .1.
As an encore he played Coates
"Calling all workers", which he had learned from listening to a CD.
His perfomance
was warmly received by the audience.
With good wishes,
Peter Johnstone.
