"Jennifer Bate's lyrical approach and sensitive registration is a constant delight, and it is a pleasure to hear the right music on the right instrument in the right hands."
The Organ - August 1999

Plymouth Suite (1937) played on the organ of St Andrew's Parish Church, Plymouth.

Introduction and the Plymouth Suite

At the time when Vaughan Williams was writing his middle-period symphonies and Britten was beginning to find his mature voice, a composer was writing music for the organ which would become part of the standard repertoire. Percy Whitlock did not devise a 'new' music - he was no Dupré or Messiaen. However, what he achieved was a perfect fusion of late romantic, neo-classical and dance hall styles - with the emphasis on the late-romantic. He was a master-craftsman who is impossible to classify. He cannot be termed a 'light' music composer - witness his great Organ Symphony. Yet he was able to produce 'pop' pieces such as the 'Bucket and Spade Polka'. He was eclectic and in this sense his style appeals to all except those who despise any nod in the direction of what is popular.

Five Short Pieces (1929), Four Extemporisations (1933) and Seven Sketches on Verses of the Psalms (1934) played on the organ of The Bragwyn Hall, Swansea.

Bach - Violin Concertos: Rachel Podger, Brecon Baroque 5.0 out of 5 stars   Back to Bach! ,  October 17, 2010 By  Andres  Sender  (N. CA, USA) This review is from:  Bach: Violin Concertos (Audio CD) For those who already appreciate Rachel Podger's unique brand of magic I'll just say that this return to recorded Bach is lovely and all that one could hope for. All that one looks for is here, and there is more. For those who are not familiar with Rachel Podger, she is a unique voice among violinists. She has absorbed the principles of late Baroque performance practice and made them a part of herself, so that the articulation and inflection of that rhetorical approach to music flows from her as a natural idiom of expression. But this is only h
