Exclusive recordings from a concert celebrating the work of George McPhee, organist and Master of the Choristers at Paisley Abbey over the last 60 years.
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Martyn Brabbins are joined by George McPhee on organ, as well as Paisley Abbey choir and the choirs of St Giles Cathedral and St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. Highlights include the Scottish premier of Patrick Doyle’s King Charles III Coronation March, and Saint Saëns' mighty Symphony No 3, the Organ Symphony, as well as choral works by Walton, Parry, Gabrielli and Tallis.
