Organ Sonata

'Julian Millard has caught the St Paul's organ to perfection, setting it at the heart of the cathedral's sumptuous acoustic while offering a dazzlingly clear view both of the instrument's myriad tone colours and Scott's superb virtuosity' (Gramophone)

'In a word, then, these performances are exemplary. The technical quality of the recording is equally high … This is a wonderful disc' (International Record Review)

'You have to have this - for so many reasons' (Organist's Review)

'John Scott's performance on the organ of St Paul's Cathedral are wholly sympathetic and convincing. The recording captures a good deal of the venue's ambience' (Fanfare, USA)

For his last recording as Organist of St Paul's Cathedral in London - he takes up his appointment as Organist and Director of Music at St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York, in the autumn of 2004 - John Scott turns to the music of Percy Whitlock. Whitlock studied composition with Vaughan Williams, he was a brilliant recitalist and his music is heralded in the organ world as some of the finest written for the instrument.
