It has been a long time, perhaps going back to the days of E. Power Biggs, since an organ recital appeared on a major label, backed by real marketing muscle. Yet here is organist Anna Lapwood on Sony Classical, with not only a hair and make-up artist but also a stylist credited. She delivers, in every way, with terrific engineering treatment of a small organ at the Royal Hospital School in London, setting an intimate mood that immediately draws the listener in. Lapwood is a choir director leading young musicians, and she is young herself; one might call this a contemporary organ recital, with scores from recent films and works by a group of contemporary crossover composers such as Ludovico Einaudi and the minimalist Ēriks Ešenvalds, all mixed with Bach and Chopin and Florence Price (who, one learns from Lapwood's own intelligent notes, worked as a theater organist and wrote five volumes of organ music). The arrangments are mostly Lapwood's own, with Philip Glass, of all people, represented by a work originally for organ, Mad Rush. She notes that the Glass work makes a perfect fit with the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria, and she might have picked almost any other pair of segues on the album; her sequence of events on the album is just beautifully structured. This album has performed strongly among listeners, and it shows that even a fairly obscure genre of recording will connect with a wide audience if it is artistically approached.
