REPERTOIRE AND ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS

Toccata in D minor - JS Bach

Philip performs all the standard repertoire, but has a particular affinity with French organ music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. However, he is equally at home playing transcriptions of the popular "classics".

In addition, he has made an extensive study of the performance practice of keyboard music from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
