Keyboard Music

A re-release of Christopher's recording of keyboard music by Orlando Gibbons (Catalogue Number: EXP 0006) has been named 'Recording of the month' on the MusicWeb International website. This is the first release on CD of Christopher's recording from 1975 of 22 pieces for keyboard by Gibbons.
