After the successful launch of Rob Stove's first commercial CD The Gates of Vienna in 2018, we are pleased to host the launch of his new CD Pax Britannica, a compilation of organ music by the composers of Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
Dr Paul Watt, musicologist from the Sir Zelmen Cowan School of Music at Monash University, will be the guest speaker.
On 27 May 2018, Brother Christian Moe FSC, who has often spoken at the library in past years and until recently came by bus from Mentone to use the library, celebrated 80 years – an astonishing milestone! – as a De La Salle Brother. And yet, he was not unique. His fellow Brother, Julian Watson FSC, also celebrated his same 80th anniversary on the same day.
Brother Christian is 96. He and Brother Julian are alert, erect, active and still very much engaged in living faithfully the vocation they began – astoundingly - in 1938.
Since the launch of Robert James Stove’s organ CD “The Gates of Vienna” at the Library in July, there have been many favourable comments and reviews of this excellent musical production. Amazon rated the CD with 5 stars.
There is also a YouTube clip of the launch which features jazz organist Joe Chindamo and of course Rob Stove himself available on Robert James Stove’s Facebook page.
Reviews, information and sales information for this CD are available at Rob's website.
