Nathan Laube, organ
When the Royal Albert Hall’s ‘Father’ Willis organ thunders into action, the air itself seems to shake. It’s the musical soul of this great building and, with its 9,999 pipes, it’s the second largest organ in the UK. No Proms season is complete without a chance to hear it in full, majestic, flight, and this year the honour goes to the superb Chicago-born organist Nathan Laube. He’s pulling out all the stops (almost literally!) with a programme of showpieces and transcriptions from the peaks of the Victorian organ repertoire – as well as his own transcription of Liszt’s B minor Piano Sonata. It’s a tour de force on the piano; on the organ … well, come and hear for yourself.
