Francis Jackson plays Vierne's Prelude from the 24 pieces in free style on the organ of York Minster in 1955, prior to the alterations to the instrument in 1960. BBC live broadcast.
@leedshunk I agree. London Cathedrals are spoilt by all the high rise buildings. they are no longer the focal point of the city which is a damn shame.
york must be one of the few cathedrals that who's outine is not wrecked by high rises , and it's amazing to hear this recording from before the big rebuild !!!

What a magnificent photograph of York Minster. it shows just how massive it is. One of the largest Gothic Cathedrals in Europe if not the world
