The organ in St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town, came from St. Margaret's, Westminster in 1909. Parts of this instrument date from 1675, and it has undergone several rebuilds, extensions, and work up until 1988. This first solo recording of the William Hill instrument gives listeners a timely record of one of the city's great musical treasures. This great English organ provides a perfect, authentic sound world for the music of Elgar and Whitlock, as well as being remarkably versatile in other styles and periods.
