Judith Bingham is established as one of the foremost British composers writing for the organ. The powerfully atmospheric and evocative music in this recording richly demonstrates her gift for creating compelling works which draw inspiration from a broad range of historical, literary and artistic sources. The Ã…kerman & Lund organ of VÃ¤sterÃ¥s Cathedral is the perfect vehicle for this colorful program, and both Heaven and Earth and Eternal Procession for two organs also feature the cathedral's Fredriksborg choir organ. Tom Winpenny's acclaimed recording of Bingham's Jacob's Ladder and other works for organ can be heard on Naxos 8.572687.
