About
Reviews
This is a major achievement. ... Highlights are too numerous to mention, but especially interesting are Martyrs, an organ duet (with John Butt), Leighton’s epic expansion on a simple Scottish psalm tune; his Missa de Gloria, a powerful exploration of plainchant, which evokes and outshines Duruflé; and the Fantasy on a Chorale (Es ist genug), a fascinating combination of violin and organ. Stephen Pritchard
Stephen Farr’s Leighton odyssey is an ear-opener... Most of all... it’s down to Farr’s unswerving authority, scrupulous phrasing and rhythmic flair – at one alert, incisive yet fluid. He lavishes as much care on lesser works such as the Festival Fanfare as on the tri-partite Et Resurrexit which follows, its long-term architecture moulded with flawless pacing an cumulative acuity.
