Michael Bennett, late Bull. My ears pricked up on a fantasia titled "Johan D Bull, 1621, MB1" Amazing music in the style made famous by Sweelinck and his pupils.

Bookmarked, and a few of his other recordings. All good Organs!
I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and a eccentric bear He is a great British institution and emits great wisdom with every growl. Of course I have Paddington at home, he is a member of the family, sure he is from the moment he was born. We have adopted him.

I'm not so keen on the sound or on the approach in fact. On the other hand I know @bioluminescentsquid felt very positive about him.

No harm in trying though, what?

Of course -- and if you know any other recordings of the same piece, let me know please!

Of course I will, but I think you know the recording of Leon Berben, In Nomine Walsingham, which I consider a very worthwhile recording. But as for now I do not know if they are the same works.

They are not!

I will check out Berben! I'm not a fan of Michael Bennet either..

Sofar Thilo Muster (ifo Records) (on an English organ in Normandy) was a hit for me..

Maciej Skrzeczkowski's real John Bull recording contains the only other performance of this piece I know of. It is a really interesting exploration of the low sonorities of the harpsichord or organ. And almost van den Kerckhovian in places.
I like the brash individuality of Bennett's playing but it can be too much for me at times as well.

I like that Skrzeczkowski recording, thanx for reminding me of it. And I love that fantasy!
