St Mary-le-Tower Civic Church Choir


	TOWER POWER The Organ of St Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich William Saunders The first recording of the organ of St Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich: a neglected organ, originally built by Father Willis in 1864 and now much enlarged. Following the outstanding critical success of his debut recording 'Dignity and Impudence' from St Mary Redcliffe, young organist William Saunders delivers another fascinating programme. Original works and 20th century orchestral transcriptions - including a number of first recordings - reveal the breadth of colour in this wonderful instrument.
