The Organist Encores

Episode 219 – Shaw Favourites

On this week’s show we have raided the archive and bring to you another classic broadcast. This time played by that Duchess Master – Gerald Shaw. Gerald was very much associated with the beautiful 5 manual Compton in the Odeon Leicester Square and that is where this broadcast is being played from. So sit back as Gerald plays in his own imitable style!
