Broadcasts

    There have been many broadcasts of organ music by Alexander, both on radio and TV in Russia.  He has recorded several times for BBC radio.  There have been two Moscow TV broadcasts about the Westminster Abbey première of Mirzoyev's Organ Symphony, including TV recording and broadcast of a significant part of the work in Moscow.
    During his visits to the North East of England lengthy interviews with him are broadcast on local radio about the extraordinary connection that has arisen between the region and the introduction of the English cathedral organ, its music, and its church music to Russia.
