Review of Andrew Nethsinga's recital at St George's Cathedral, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
We were delighted to have Andrew Nethsinga, the Organist and Master of the
Choristers at Truro Cathedral, UK, here in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, to give a
recital at St. George's Cathedral, on Tuesday 10th October 2000.
The programme was as follows:
Guilmant
Grand Choeur in D minor
Whitlock
Folk Tune
J. S. Bach
Trio super "Herr Jesus Christ
Fantasia and Fugue in C minor
Hollins
Allegretto Grazioso
Handel
Adagio and March from the "Occasional Oratorio"
Interval
Karg-Elert
Chorale-Improvisation "Nun danket alle Gott"
Samuel Wesley
Air and Gavotte
Howells
Psalm Prelude (Set 1, No 1)
"Lo, the poor crieth and the Lord heareth him, yea, and saveth him out
of all his troubles." (Psalm 34.6)
Guillmant
March on a Theme of Handel
Andrew Nethsinga introduced the pieces at the beginning of each half, and then
went on to play them as though he had played the organ at St. George's Cathedral
all his life! In fact, he was here some years ago when he gave a recital,
which was as enjoyable as the one we heard this week.
The organ has never sounded better!
Mr. Nethsinga also conducted the Diocesan
Choral Festival Service, Sunday October 15, 2000, at 4.00 pm.
