Nico Muhly’s prelude for his friend the Rev'd James Mustard features slow-moving harmonies with a breathy warmth but it’s through a sparkling crystalline pane of arpeggios. Nico Muhly has an almost incomparable understanding of the capabilities of the Pipe Organ as a musical instrument but also an equally deep understanding of and even affection for its limitations making his Organ pieces extremely unique.
