Andrew Benson-Wilson

Andrew seeks to inspire an appreciation of the organ music of the 14th to early 19th centuries through his recitals, writing and workshop teaching. His playing is informed by an understanding of historic instruments and techniques of performance.

Reviewers have written “his understanding of the historic organ is thorough, and the beautifully articulated, contoured result here is sufficient reason for hearing this disk”, “He is a player of authority in this period of keyboard music” and “one of the most rewarding organ recitals heard in London in years, an enthralling experience”

Andrew’s two CDs of the complete organ works of Thomas Tallis are on the Signum label’s Tallis series (SIGCD016 and SIGCD042).

Andrew’s book, ‘The Performance of Early Organ Music’, has proved an invaluable introduction to performance practice. Andrew also reviews concerts and CDs for Early Music Review and writes articles for other journals.
