Organ Recital
SUALLY overs of organ music have to be content ith hearing the instrument in the background of a broadcast church service, but a recent Sunday afternoon brought listeners to 2YA an all-too-short recital of organ and yocal music by Murray and Lyla Fastier. They wisely concentrated their attention on the 18th Century, the golden age of organ music, and on Bach, with two excursions into Handel. The result was emotionally and aesthetically satisfying, though I ‘should have preferred to plunge into the next programme with echoes of the Bach Prelude and Fugue in my ears rather than the Handel concerto, Lyla Fastier’s soprano has a depth and dignity which make it particularly well-suited to organ accompaniment.
