Click below to see the first performance of David’s new ‘Triptyque de Noel’, commissioned by the church of St Peter and Paul in Ratingen, Germany. Recorded on Advent Sunday 2008, it features the newly-restored Seifert Organ at Ratingen – incorporating some very interesting new computer software (see laptop on top right of console) – including sostenutos, Pedal divide, Manual divide, replay … oh yes, and ‘build your own Cornets’ … tierces, septiemes, neuviemes, onziemes, treiziemes (which whichever rank of pipes you want, on manuals or pedals).

BOMBARDE 32! David Briggs plays the Widor Toccata on the
Organ of St Sernin, Toulouse.
This DVD evolved rather unexpectedly during the final moments of the BBC
Music Magazine recording session of Widor's 5th and Vierne 3rd organ symphonies.
Two days of sheer exhilaration inspired by the great Cavaille-Coll in the

capture the moment on film. The BBC Music Magazine features the CD as the
cover disc for its April 2008 edition -- available from March 12th. The
DVD (of the Widor Toccata and Improvisations) is now available for £13
plus shipping and handling.
