To celebrate the new organ by Kenneth Tickell in Worcester Cathedral, Priory presents a lollipops CD to demonstrate its versatility. Christopher Allsop, then Assistant Director of Music at the cathedral ( and now of the Choir School) puts the organ through its paces. To obtain the best seat in the house Priory put its microphones high to the east of the two cases to obtain what we consider the best place from which to hear this instrument. This organ will be enlarged in the coming years.
