Programme
Whitlock Sonata in C minor [45']
David Leigh organ
This complex and monumental work is linked with Rachmaninov's Second Symphony, first heard by Whitlock in 1934 and referred to cryptically in the Sonata's dedication. Whitlock's unashamedly lush romantic style owes much to the older composer, and marks him out as an important if somewhat neglected figure in the twentieth-century canon of organ music.
