When the Royal Albert Hall was officially opened in 1871, it welcomed its first audience to the sound of the mighty ‘Father’ Willis organ – then powered by two steam engines. In the first of this season’s two organ recitals marking the Hall’s 150th anniversary, Martin Baker performs key organ works by J. S. Bach before taking them as a starting point for his own improvisations. The recital showcases the power and range of an instrument whose 9,999 pipes would stretch nine miles if laid end to end, an organ that has been played by celebrated recitalists and rock legends alike.
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Kate Molleson
First broadcast: 1 August 2021
