Mark Andrews (1875-1939) was a distinguished organist, and an early recording artist for the RCA Victor recording company. During the 1920’s Andrews recorded a number of solo organ pieces, including selections from Mendelssohn, Rossini, Wagner and Fauré. In 1929 RCA commissioned Andrews to supervise a recording of “The Crucifixion,” a popular Victorian era oratorio by John Stainer.
