Whilst the Willis organ of 1877 was being restored in 2015 an 1867 French harmonium was purchased instead of hiring an electronic instrument. Here we hear one of Vierne's large-scale mass settings, Guilmant's sonata as originally written for harmonium, and some of the choir’s favourites which have featured not only in Sunday Evensong services, but also on choir tours.
