Peter Holder pays tribute to centenary composer Saint-Saëns in a programme that recreates elements of the composer’s legendary performances on the Royal Albert Hall organ in the opening season of 1871 and in 1880. His wide-ranging programme includes Liszt’s largest organ work, written for the ‘piano melodium’ (an organ–piano hybrid), and the opening movement from the most celebrated of French master Widor’s 10 symphonies for organ.
