Peter Dickinson’s strikingly original approach to organ music, which the composer himself has described as ‘far from the English cathedral tradition’, reflects a background that was not typical of British organists or composers during the mid- to late-twentieth century.
The award-winning, internationally-renowned organist Jennifer Bate is an ideal interpreter of his works, which range from the introspective A Cambridge Postlude to the improvisatory Three Statements and the awe-inspiring Millennium Fanfare.
This disc includes several world première recordings.
A recent recording of Peter Dickinson’s work was described in the following glowing terms by Fanfare: “A top notch CD, and by the end of the year possibly a Want List recommendation.”
“Jennifer Bate [is] a remarkable organist… Needless to say Jennifer Bate's performances are superb….Well worth investigating.” MusicWeb International on a previous recording
