Matilda Lloyd (trumpet)
Richard Gowers (organ)
The renowned duo make their Temple Church debut in a kaleidoscopic programme of baroque fantasias and contemporary music. Newly-commissioned works by Deborah Pritchard, Owain Park and Roxanna Panufnik explore the expressive possibilities of trumpet and organ, whilst Bach, Krebs and Martini dazzle in improvisatory passagework; none more so than in Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, which featured in the 1940 Disney film Fantasia.
Bach (arr. Foster): Toccata & Fugue in D minor
Panufnik: Echo* UK premiere
Krebs (trans. Lloyd): Fantasia in F minor
Barnard: At the Borders of Sleep*
Bach: Canonic Variations on Vom Himmel hoch
Pritchard: Light Enkindled* world premiere
Martini: Sonata al Post Communio
Park: Warm, hazy rain* UK premiere
*Commissioned by Matilda Lloyd and Richard Gowers for Fantasia (September 2025, Chandos Records)
Duration: One hour (no interval)
"Lloyd plays with intense expression and immense warmth. The flawless tone, purity of line and dynamic subtlety she coaxes from her instrument are shown off to particularly impressive effect"
