Performance Recordings
Picture of David Macfarlane

These recordings are mostly taken live from David's concerts rather than being edited recordings.

The links, as of 1 February 2016, are to uncompressed .wav files and lossless compressed .flac files in CD quality and MP3 at 192 kb/s. I will add audio player links shortly.

Organ

From a concert of Italian music performed in St Scholastica's, Sydney, broadcast by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). The organ for this piece is a chamber organ by Klopp tuned for this concert in quarter-comma meantone. The piece is Frescobaldi's Aria detto Balletto from Il secondo libro di toccate, canzone... di cimbalo et organo (1637)

From William Byrd's My Ladye Nevells Booke (1591) this performance of Ut re mi fa sol la was recorded on the Knud Smenge organ in Newman Chapel, the University of Melbourne where David is the organist. This was recorded at the end of a lengthy recording session accompanying the Newman College Choir and with just two takes as the recording session had already gone overtime for the choir's work.

Two of these recordings were from a recital of French music given on the 68 stop Rieger (1998) organ in the Scots' Church (Presbyterian), Collins Street, Melbourne as part of their annual International Organ Series held in September each year. David has been booked to perform again in 2017 with a program of German and Austrian music.
