A masterful performance, Ben - especially the 'Allegro maestoso', which you play with exuberant panache: bravo! Mendelssohn sounds glorious on the Mander Organ at Chichester Cathedral and those who attended your May concert were afforded a real treat.
Please may I ask about the draw stops opening/closing partially in some instances, by half or less (e.g. around the 5-minute mark in this piece), as I've not seen this before. Is it varying the volume of some stops within the overall registration for that manual and/or somehow changing the composition of mixtures? Thanks.
Cracking rendition Ben. I hope to hear you in recital soon. I remember you at Rochester.
Great organ to play this music ! Thank you Ben.
Beautiful Ben - Mendelssohn's music for organ is not played as often as it should.

The stops are either in or out / on or off. Might just be a trick of the light if they appear half drawn!
@@bloorganist Thank you, Ben.
