Repertoire in dialogue
The son of the Methodist hymn-writer Charles Wesley and elder brother of Samuel Wesley, Charles Wesley junior was a child prodigy who played the organ before the age of three. Reluctant to perform in public, he worked mainly as a private organist, notably to the Prince Regent, the future George IV; his Six Concertos Op. 2 (1781) are for organ or harpsichord with orchestra.
