Pedals and Pipes

Went for Carol William's concert last weekend. It was the first time that I was hearing a dedicated pipe organ performance at the Esplanade. Enjoyed it immensely. She played a number of pieces which spanned over four centuries, including the ubiquitous Toccata & Fugue and other famous organs works by Tournemire and Kleive. Got a very nice introduction to a contemporary organ composer Karl Jenkins which I shall be watching out for. She even played Beatles' "Hey Jude" on the magnificent organ, which was a whole lot of fun for the audience.
