1) Franz Schmidt (1874-1939): ‘Prelude and Fugue in D major’, "Halleluja" –

2) Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992): ‘Transportes de joie’ – Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, Portugal. From the SACD ‘Wayne Marshall - Passion Symphony’ 07 - Base2 music.

3) Wayne Marshall (1961): Improvisation on two Scottish themes, ‘Road to the Isles’ and ‘Loch Lomond’ recorded with an audience at St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh. (The two themes are heard first before the improvisation).

During the 2021 Edinburgh festival, Wayne Marshall came to conduct the show ‘A grand night for singing’, by Rodgers and Hammerstein. St Mary’s Episcopal cathedral heard Wayne was ‘in town’ and invited him to perform a recital on the ‘Father Willis’ organ, restored by Harrison and Harrison in 2020. Two pieces presented here on this vinyl LP were recorded during the recital after evensong and the previous evening. The main piece on the disk is the ‘Prelude and Fugue in D Major’ by Bratislavan composer Franz Schmidt. Some space on the disc allowed a sample track from Wayne Marshall’s ‘Passion Symphony’ SACD to complete Side A. We chose Messiaen’s ‘Transports de joie,’ performed on the great Mascioni organ of the Basilica of our lady of the Rosary of Fatima, Portugal, with its splendid 12 second reverberation time. The Mascioni, (seen left) a modern Italian organ, contrasts well with the Victorian and very typically British sound of the ‘Father Willis’
