Born in Leicester and educated in England, Italy and The Netherlands, he soon in his teens won an international reputation as a master of the art of improvisation, an art which he has demonstrated for the past 50-odd years throughout Europe, in Canada and the USA, in Russia and Australia. Much in demand as a teacher, he has taught young organists at Oxford and Cambridge Universities for over 40 years, has been a visiting Tutor at the Royal Northern College of Music, Professor at The Royal Academy in London, and a visiting Professor in Dresden and St Petersburg. In 1986 he founded the International Summer Organ Conservatoire (ISOC), where some of Europe’s leading organists would gather – initially in England and later in France to give masterclasses and concerts. His debut at The Royal Festival Hall was in the same year. He has also been a jury member of many organ competitions all over the world.
As an improviser, he is universally acclaimed as the doyen of his generation.
