Anna Lapwood - Firedrove (CD)

Anna Lapwood, renowned for introducing the organ to new fans through viral TikTok videos, high-profile collaborations and sold-out live concerts, takes flight with a remarkable new album. On Firedove, audiences will hear her spread her wings in a range of both new and familiar repertoire, all performed in her engaging and inimitable style.

Recorded in overnight sessions at Nidaros Cathedral - the spectacular Gothic masterpiece founded in the 11th century in Trondheim, Norway - this album perfectly demonstrates Lapwood's open-minded approach to music, one where a Vierne scherzo can sit alongside a rendition of Robbie Williams's hit song Angels, and Maurice Durufle's Prelude and Fugue Sur le nom d'Alain with Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love.

Firedove is, without doubt, her most personal album to date, and perhaps her most surprising, performing works ranging from revered French organist Louis Vierne's technically demanding Naiades, Poppy Akroyd's remarkable, shifting Murmurations or Hania Rani's transcendent, thought-provoking Glass.
