Jan Liebermann's recital at Our Lady of Victories Church in London was a tour de force. His programme included a brilliantly coloured Wagner's Meistersingers Overture. Works by Bach, Duruflé and Dupré were delivered with customary precision and musical intelligence.
Afterwards Jan gave his view on the instrument: "The organ proved wonderfully suited to the Dupré and Duruflé — both musically and technically — and it was a real pleasure to play.
"The dynamic range from piano to forte is beautiful, and the flutes and celestes are particularly lovely. It’s a remarkably versatile instrument, especially (though not exclusively) for the French repertoire.
"For my taste, it is perhaps a little too powerful overall, and the 32’ flue can be somewhat boomy; perhaps this might be refined in the future. But aside from that, it’s an exceptionally exciting instrument to perform on!"
