Toccata or not Toccata that is tonight's question

Frank Renton presents some classic and some up-to-date Toccatas.

As familiar at weddings, Royal and otherwise, as at concerts the grandest of Toccatas by Bach and Widor are joined by more recent examples of the art by Rodney Newton and Derek Broadbent. Frank Renton presents these virtuoso pieces of music played by Grimethorpe, Foden's, Cory with star soloist Owen Farr and Black Dyke who add the glorious sound and power of the organ at Bristol Cathedral for a triumphant ending.
