Sleeve Notes


GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE


'A magnificent organ and music that will gladden the heart' (Early Music Review)

'Something all organ lovers will want to have. Smashing!' (Gramophone)

'Christopher Herrick and the Hyperion team have come up trumps with a gem of an organ ... glorious. This is marvellous playing, full of energy and irrepressible jeu d'esprit' (BBC Music Magazine)

'A delight … This disc will give joy year-round' (Fanfare, USA)

'This is one of those times where the historical context around a particular program is just right; where what seems like the exact organ is heard in the exactly appropriate repertoire, played by an organist with the exact equipment - technical, artistic and intellectual. Over the years we have come to expect outstanding CDs from Hyperion, and this is certainly such a recording' (The American Organist)
