About the film
Ronny Krippner sheds light on how English organists improvised in different historical periods. He blows open the 'illusionists art' of improvisation and shows us how it is done. He discusses the main English organ composers between 1500 and the present day – Tallis, Byrd, Purcell, Handel, Stanford, Howells, Mathias and Leighton. For each composer, he sketches their musical background and analyses their compositional techniques before performing a full improvisation in their style.
