In this episode, Richard Brasier talks about some of the startling discoveries he made whilst researching for his new edition of the organ and harmonium works of Cesar Franck. He also plays an unpublished work by Franck for the first time. After five years' work, having studied previously lost manuscripts, Richard explains the approach to registration and performance based on historic evidence and the organs Franck played.

Christopher Stokes, Organist and Master of the Choristers at Manchester Cathedral, talks about his design and planning of the Tickell organ that was installed in the cathedral in 2016. Demonstrating some of the sounds and colours of the new instrument, Chris explains how a cathedral organ designed principally for repertoire will then naturally be able to excel in accompanying the choir.
