Huw Williams organ
On the mighty Dobson organ at Merton College, Bath Abbey organist Huw Williams orients his recital around the last of Bach’s sublime Trio Sonatas – with its Italianate striding Vivace, rocking Lento and rambunctious final Allegro – and the Lutheran chorale Vater unser im Himmelreich, which forms the basis of the last of Mendelssohn’s mighty organ sonatas and Bach’s own canon from the Clavierübung. Completing the programme is Mendelssohn’s Prelude and Fugue in C minor, in which the composer, directly inspired by his hero Bach, laid out his vision for a new contrapuntal music.
