Adrian Gebruers: Fleischmann Carillon Recital 13 June 2010 in St Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh
Adrian Gebruers is organist at the Cathedral and lecturer at the School of Music of University College Cork. All the works performed at the recital were arranged for carillon by him, with the exception of Fleischmann’s two carillon pieces, Nochtrái and Toccata. Fleischmann’s father, Aloys Fleischmann senior (cathedral organist in Cork 1906-1961), and his grandfather, Hans Conrad Swertz (church organist in Cork 1879-1906) were also commemorated. The Fleischmann family is most grateful to Adrian for permission to place this recording of the recital on the website.
