Timothy Byram-Wigfield (Caird Hall organ)
Designed by the blind organist Alfred Hollins, the Caird Hall instrument is one of the finest recital organs in the UK - as ideal a vehicle for Hollins’ own music as Byram-Wigfield is an exponent of it. Hollins effortlessly combines keyboard pyrotechnics with a quasi-orchestral approach to sonority. These works bristle with vigour, their swaggering confidence leavened with ingenuity and wit.

‘Byram-Wigfield's performances are superb; there's none of the shallow, showy musicianship one hears from a few international recitalists, but instead, carefully crafted interpretations played with consummate skill.’
- Gramophone
‘There is delicacy, humour, drive, vigour, lightness of touch and heroic utterance here, to which these fine compositions respond by revealing their all. I love it!’
- Organists’ Review
