O Filii et Filiæ - Organ splendour from the (mostly) French baroque

French Classical organ tradition, where elegance, clarity, and expressive nuance shaped some of the era’s most captivating music. Works by François Couperin, Louis Marchand, Jean-François Dandrieu, and Nicolas de Grigny reveal a world of refined character pieces, majestic liturgical settings, and exquisite agréments — from intimate devotion to ceremonial splendour. Played on the historic St Paul’s organ, built int 1864 by J.W. Walker, expect a few surprises from Dieterich Buxtehude , to add a dash of fiery North German contrast – inventive, dramatic, and full of rhetorical power. Together, these works illuminate the diversity and artistry of the Baroque organ — and, at times, its thrilling, roof-shaking force.
