@diapasonukful It's a Cathedral no if's or buts, unfortunately there was no Monastic living at the Cathedral due to it being in the process of being built. In terms of the School, it couldn't be called The Cathedral School as it was amalgamated from The Cathedral School (for Choristers), St Josephs and Stonefield House so the name was already taken. Was a Chorister at Lincoln and pupil of the Minster School
On the Hymnbooks at the place itself is stamped Lincoln Minster. A Minster was the mother church of an area. Some of these minsters became cathedrals, some of them didn't.
@OwizzleSpindles - yes, it's a cathedral, but, like its brother in York, has always been called Minster. Now, it would be more to the point to take issue with the jumped-up parish churches which have recently acquired Minster status, like Halifax (4m Harrison, 1920s) and Croydon (1900s Hill rebuild H&H 1969, 4m+p, 58ss)...
a wonderful record !

Just to be utterly pedantic, it's Lincoln Cathedral not Minster!

confusingly I've heard it called both Minster and cathedral, the Radio 3 announcer before the pgram said minster, so am sticking with it! :-)

There are very few who can match Dupré, but I have been a big Hakim fan for years, and love his improvs.
But, eurgh, video quality ain't so hot on this one! I'll have to go HD next time! oh well, its something to look at while while the music plays ;-)
