ORGAN RECITALS.
TO THE EDITOR Of THE PRESS.
Sir,—ln yesterday's Pees.? I read the following:—"Referring to organ recitals, Mr Griffith said that if bad, they desecrated the Church. Wagner's 'Parsifal,' for instance, full of certain religiosity, was the last thing that should be played in a church." The organ in Liverpool Cathedral was dedicated on October 18th, 1926. On Wednesday, October 20th, H. GossCustard, Mus.B. (Oxon), gave an organ recital, and for the second item played the prelude "Parsifal," Wagner. On Thursday, October 21st, W. G. Alcock, M.V.0., Mus.D. gave a. recital, and the fourth item on his programme was the Good Friday music for "Parsi'fal," Wagner. I heard this last item played by E. H. Lemare in our own Cathedral some years ago'.—Yours, etc., DAVIS HUNT. September 17th, 1927.
