Douglas Lawrence plays the Ronald Sharp Organ at Ormond College, Melbourne. An excellent disc of favourite organ works by Pachelbel.
Features works by Pachelbel including the popular 'Canon in D major', music by Buxtehude including the 'Ciacona in E minor' and the 'Passacaglia in D minor'.
These are the only recordings of the organ in the Ormond College Chapel built by Sydney organ builder Ronald Sharp, before it was rebuilt and enlarged in 1993.
Francis Alan Jackson, CBE, a British organist and composer was the organist and director of music at York Minster for 36 years. He visited Australia some time between 1974 and 1993 and had the opportunity to play the Ormond College organ, describing it as "the most beautiful sound I have heard in music" during an interview on ABC radio by Glen Menzies.
