Celebrated organist Tom Winpenny releases an exciting programme of works by the British composer John McCabe (1939-2015) in what would have been his eightieth birthday year. Displaying a huge breadth of inspiration and affinity for the instrument, the programme features a number of first recordings, including the Carol-Preludes of 2008 and the earlier large-scale Sinfonia and Johannis-Partita. Winpenny records on the neo-classical Harrison and Harrison organ of St Albans Cathedral for which the closing track, Esperanza, was written and first performed in the biennial St Albans Organ Festival and Competition. Tom Winpenny is Assistant Master of the Music at St. Alban's Cathedral where his duties include accompanying the daily choral services and directing the acclaimed Abbey Girls Choir.
