A beautiful collection of favorite music of our good friend Graham Twist. Everyone who comes into contact with him, loves Graham and his music. Graham finally has to start thinking about making his scores available for download on the internet. I don't think he would get less thank you messages because of that.

Thank you so very much Vidas! I appreciate that - and I agree - his music needs to be shared more widely!

That was really really nice. First time I have heard of this composer Graham Twist and his music. Thank you for playing his works. Very relaxing to listen to.

Thank you so much Sean - I'm so glad I was able to introduce you to him - definitely check out his channel, and he makes his music scores freely available so you can send him a message on FB and he will happily share!

Hello dear sir. Not only congratulations for these good interpretations but, as an organist and admirer of Mr. Twist's compositions, for the broadcast of these pieces which greatly deserve it.

Thank you so much Philippe! I am so glad you enjoyed this - and I share your admiration for our friend Mr. Twist!

A great tribute to one of the important persons of the online organ community!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 This has been long over due for me - I am so grateful for all of our shared musical experiences!

Lovely to watch my friend playing his console on a sample set at/from an Abbey where another friend I’ve met several times plays and choosing the music of another friend I’ve also met but so far, only once. Lucky me eh? Jerry makes more than just his console ‘Content’. 🤪

[@jerrymartin79]

Aww thank you so much Maurice! Our wonderful musical community is so special, and it is such a joy that we have all had a chance to meet in person!

Dear Jerry - what can I say? A highlight of 2024 was meeting you 'in the flesh' in Blackburn for your amazing recital. Our friendship started because of Stanford, when I was looking for a recording of his Fantasia and Toccata in D Minor. When I heard you play it, I knew I'd struck gold! And then came Battison Haynes . . . and even some Twist! You are just the most amazing man and your friendship has truly enriched my life. How you balance the demands of your professional life with the dedication you have for the organ and its repertoire is nothing short of miraculous! And I know of no-one who is more empathetic, kind, generous, supportive and optimistic. You are a treasure beyond compare - and everyone who knows you is blessed in more ways than they will ever realize. Thank you for this great and undeserved honour. (And 'Slane' will be completed this year, promise!) B R A V O !

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you SO much Graham for your friendship, your endless encouragement, your good humor - and the music! Our international organ world would not be the same without you - and you have pushed all of us to strive for bigger things all the time - it has been such a joy putting this compilation together to celebrate your works: and you really must feel proud as you reflect on all you have written - and be yourself encouraged with what has yet to come from your music studio!
