  • Very nice. Never heard this piece before. Of course Sullivan also wrote

    "the Lost Chord".

    My grandfather was also around during Sullivan's life. Sometimes history

    is just around the corner.

    Tnx for the melodious post.

  • This has always been my favourite recording of this piece, especially the way the main theme is introduced at the finale (1:00) - buildup, crescendo, drumroll, *pause* BAM! - full orchestra with organ. Gets me every time!

  • Thank you for posting this. For me this is one of those special compositions that somehow affects me very deeply and usually have to brush away the tears at the end.
