Peter Hurford - The Art of Peter Hurford

Review by Abdul Mujeeb Shaik

The Art of Peter Hurford is an exquisite album that showcases the talent and mastery of the acclaimed organist Peter Hurford. The album is a collection of some of Hurford's most iconic performances, recorded between 1969 and 1990.

From the opening track, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, it is clear that Hurford is a virtuoso of the organ. His playing is precise, powerful, and full of emotion. The album features a range of pieces from different composers, including Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Handel, all of which showcase Hurford's versatility and ability to interpret different styles.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Hurford's performance of Bach's Prelude and Fugue in E minor. The piece is hauntingly beautiful, and Hurford's playing captures the intensity and drama of the music perfectly. Another highlight is his rendition of Widor's Toccata from Symphony No. 5, which is a thrilling and energetic piece that showcases Hurford's technical prowess.
