The nimble, expressive playing of Michael Harris in Bach, Franck, Fleury, Langlais and Mulet showcases the tonal brilliance of the 1993 Rieger organ. The adult choir performs Britten, Tavener, Vaughan Williams and Leighton (‘Drop, Drop Slow Tears’) with a conviction marred only by a tendency to sing flat. Graeme Kay
