CHRISTUS: A Passion Symphony for Solo Organ by Francis Pott

Christus has been justly recognised as an ‘Everest’ of the organ repertoire and has been performed by only eight organists from among the world’s virtuoso elite: (in chronological order of their respective first performances) Iain Simcock, Jeremy Filsell, David Goode, Robert Quinney, David Leigh, Kevin Bowyer, Tristan Russcher, Christian Wilson and Tom Winpenny. The work has now received over thirty complete performances and a number of liturgical/devotional renditions of individual movements (notwithstanding its taut cyclical structure). It has been played by Iain Simcock and Christian Wilson in Germany, by David Leigh in the Irish Republic and by Jeremy Filsell on tour across the USA.
