Paul Derrett
Through broadcasts, his many recordings and over 400 recitals
since 1981, Paul Derrett has established himself as one of the
leading players in this country. A prize-winner of The Royal College
of Organists, he studied at The Royal College of Music with Nicholas
Danby, Richard Popplewell and Herbert Howells, but also trained
as an organ-builder and this explains his reputation for being
able to display each organ to best effect. Paul particularly enjoys
reviving interest in neglected works and suggestions for additions
to his repertoire are always welcomed. Recital venues in 2009
included nine cathedrals, amongst them St.Paul's Cathedral, London.

PHILIP RUSHFORTH
Philip Rushforth began his musical training as a chorister at Chester Cathedral where he began learning the organ with the Cathedral Organist, Roger Fisher. In 1991 he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, as Organ Scholar under Dr Richard Marlow. At Trinity he broadcast and recorded frequently with the world famous college choir, and toured with them extensively in Europe, Canada and the USA. Organ studies continued with David Sanger.
Graduating in 1994, he took up the post of Assistant Organist at Southwell Minster and became the first director of the Southwell Minster Chorale. For eight years he directed the choir in Southwell and further afield.
Active as a recitalist, he has performed throughout the country and at many cathedrals and concert halls, including Westminster Cathedral, St Paul's Cathedral, and King's College, Cambridge. In September 2000 he was a finalist in the prestigious Royal College of Organists' Performer of the Year Award, performing the Poulenc Organ Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. He won many recital awards, including performing at St John's, Smith Square and at the Dublin International Organ and Choral Festival. Invitations to Italy have seen him perform in two International Organ Festivals in Cantu and Senigallia.
In September 2002 he returned to Chester Cathedral as Assistant Director of Music. He works closely with the cathedral choirs and, in addition to the daily worship of the cathedral, regularly directs them in concert, on CD, Radio 3 and Radio 4's Daily Service. He also organises the weekly organ recital series at the cathedral, performing regularly as a recitalist. He is in constant demand as an accompanist and soloist, both on organ and piano, performing with the Chester Music Society and Chester Bach Choir, and has appeared in the Chester Summer Music Festival and International Church Music Festival.
This is his first recording for AMPHION having previously recorded works by Hovland, Lemare, Swayne, Vierne, and Whitlock for the OxRecs label.
