Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Catherine Bott
Making his Prom debut the Parisian organist Thierry Escaich, one of today's most famed exponents of the art of improvisation, demonstrates his skills in a variety of styles on the mighty Albert Hall instrument, and also plays concert works by four great organist-composers from the 18th and 19th centuries. Improvisation has always been part of the organist's musical armoury, and never more so than amongst the great French players of the instrument.
