Picture: Water-colour of the view from Felix Aprahamian's house looking towards Alexandra Palace in North London. Almost all the music on this CD was composed in this house and David Liddle was resident organist of Alexandra Palace for a time. The artist is David Liddle's mother.

The Organ was designed and built by N P Mander Ltd. of London England and is the largest mechanical action organ in New York City. The installation began in November 1992 and was completed in 1993.


The brilliant blind English organist and composer David Liddle is arguably the leading organist-composer of his generation in the world.

On the magnificent Instrument of St. Ignatius Loyola, on Park Avenue, New York City, which originally dates from 1895, David gives compelling and naturally authentic performances of his own original yet traditionally-based organ music.

This representative selection ranges from the dazzling Toccata opus 3 to the succinct English Organ Mass opus 6 and the Symphonic Labyrinth - on the finest large-scale organ works by a British composer written since the War.

In addition to being a very gifted and original composer, DAVID LIDDLE is also a virtuoso organist of immense skill, and this wonderfully-recorded new CD is guaranteed to make a big impact.
