Perhaps the finest Victorian church in England, Doncaster Minster stands today not just as an architectural masterpiece but also as a potent witness to the strength of our Christian faith and devotion. Some visitors come to pray, others to relish this supreme example of Gilbert Scott’s architectural genius and still others, organists and lovers of music among them, visit the Minster for the majestic sound of its historic organ, acknowledged to be Edmund Schulze’s great masterpiece and, to this day, the largest organ ever to have been built in this country by a foreign maker.

This huge, five manual instrument inspires all who hear it but it challenges, too. It demands organists of the most exceptional technical mastery and imagination to realise its full potential and to do proper justice to its unique range and expressiveness.  D’Arcy Trinkwon is such an organist. Internationally acclaimed for his virtuoso organ playing, he has taken up the challenge and here gives an astonishing performance, fully worthy of this great Minster church and the unique organ that is harboured within its hallowed walls.
