 | Hugh Potton plays Vierne II on 5 manual organ Extract of one of the series of concerts at Hammerwood Park East Grinstead featuring the French Symphonic composers who should be as well known as Beethoven and Brahms. As here, Hugh is renowned for playing the whole repertoire from memory and he has his performance so under his fingertips that he rises over the technical and artistic difficulties over which others agonise and revels in the utter fun of playing. This exuberance comes through to his audiences who are transfixed and fascinated to see him coping with both a repertoire and an instrument of the utmost complexity. The instrument served in a former 3 manual incarnation for a dozen years at Londonderry Cathedral in Northern Ireland and was enlarged with an Italian Solo division and a Dutch/North German Echo division as a performance instrument at Hammerwood Park. The instrument can also be played in the French manner with Grande Choeur, Grande Orgue and Recit Expressif. Behind this instrument is a two manual Hunter pipe organ which served at the Royal School of Church Music at Addington Palace for many years. The setting of these organs in the Elgin Room at Hammerwood provide an unusually intimate relationship between the audience, the performer and the organ.

 | The Interpreti Veneziani A new ensemble on the Italian and international concert scene! This is how, in 1987, the Interpreti Veneziani made their debut, immediately gaining a reputation for the youthful exuberance and all-Italian brio characterising their performances. The talent of the members of this group, their expertise as soloists and ensemble musicians and the high level of their performances have earned the Interpreti an enthusiastic welcome from both audiences and critics. Their important achievements include appearances in the Bayruth Festival and concerts at Stockholms Royal Palace, participation in the World Vision telemarathon at the Kirov Theatre to mark the reinstatement of the name St. Petersburg, a concert at the Osaka Symphony Hall in live broadcast for Japanese radio, concerts at the Tokyo Suntory Hall and Kjoi Hall and appearances in glamorous concert seasons such as those of Sapporo and Yokohama during four tours in Japan. The Interpreti Veneziani did two tours in Australia (Melbourne, Ballarat, Perth) and have been invited many times to America (Bahamas, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia). In 2007, they will perform for the first time in the USA (Tucson, Phoenix, New York). The Interpreti Venezianis recording activity includes production of a first compact disc with the music publishers Musikstrasse with music by Giuseppe Tartini and 16 compact discs recorded with Rivo Alto. For the last 19 years, the Interpreti Veneziani have performed their own season consisting of more than 200 concerts at Venices San Vidal Church. |
