In partnership with the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition, we present this recital from one of their prizewinners.

Exploiting the full symphonic palette of the cathedral’s famous organ, Eben will perform the epic, virtuosic Fantasia and Fugue on Ad Nos, Ad Salutarem Undam by Franz Liszt—one of the most ferocious and engaging pieces in the repertoire. And you can hear a different side of the organ, built in 1879 by Henry ‘Father’ Willis, during two more lyrical pieces from Vierne’s 24 Pieces in Free Style: the Berceuse and Pastorale.
