‘Highly recommended, not least for a glorious rendition of the Harp Concerto and the novelty of the briefest contribution of Clare College Choir in an Alleluia finale’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The abiding impression is one of irrepressible tunefulness and joie de vivre … the instrument's special delight is the sweetness and delicacy of its flute stops … here and elsewhere Nicholson plays with zest and virtuoso flair. The Brandenburg Consort match him in style and élan, while Frances Kelly is a graceful soloist’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘The great coup of this new recording … is to have secured the instrument on which the composer played. Nicholson's playing is unfailingly stylish’ (The Times)

‘Superbly played’ (Organists' Review)

‘Paul Nicholson's performances are musical, polished and wonderfully played and enjoyable to hear’ (Cathedral Music)

‘Incandescent music-making. Mr Nicholson, the fieriest of virtuosos, makes us remember that Handel, who wrote these pieces for himself, was an organist of legendary prowess. The Brandenburg Consort's luminous strings play with particular point and charm, thanks to Mr Goodman’ (The Dallas Morning News)
