July 2006
The magnificent Festival Hall organ was frequently recorded during the LP era but this is the first CD dedicated to this landmark instrument. …Weir is the most rhythmic of organists and one can share her enjoyment of the Spanish dance elements in Bovet's Preludes and the bell-like swing of Bach's Prelude together with its majestic Fugue. Her performances of Ives's witty variations. Grison's dazzling Toccata and Dupré's sparkling Noël Variations are characterised by imaginative colouring, wit and breathtaking virtuosity.
