‘Herrick is one of the few organists who does justice to these difficult, elusive pieces … What a singular joy to hear the organ played with such infectious rhythm!’ (American Record Guide)

‘A fresh and gripping account … Herrick’s touch, his unfailing taste and his innate feeling for the dance rhythms at the heart of even the most austere pieces all make for a musical adventure with few parallels’ (San Francisco Chronicle)

‘Each time I’ve tried to sample a band or two, I’ve been drawn into listening to the end of the disc’ (International Record Review)

‘Hyperion has come up with another winner … Herrick has a feel for his subject and organs and Hyperion reflects this in good engineering … strongly recommended’ (Cathedral Music)

‘Herrick’s fingers embrace all technical hurdles with seeming ease … this is a fine mainstream, streamlined collection that invites repeated and lengthy listening’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Beautifully played and recorded … exquisite interpretations’ (Music Week)

‘Definitely a "must have"’ (Organists' Review)

‘This is arguably the finest recording of these works on modern piano. Hewitt projects the different characters of individual dances, as well as those of entire suites, with great beauty, clarity and refinement … this might well be the finest set of English Suites on the piano’ (Goldberg)

‘I thoroughly enjoy Hewitt's unaffected playing, her easy-going virtuosity, careful dynamics, and frequent grace, as well as power’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘The standard of excellence Angela Hewitt has set in previous installments in her Hyperion Bach cycle continues unabated with the English Suites’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Once again, Angela Hewitt proves that she's one of the most penetrating interpreters of Bach on the piano, with a superlative account of the six English Suites. She's an astonishingly supple player, elegant in the French dance elements, brilliant in the Italianate flourishes, and fully in control of the works' complex chromaticisms. Another tour de force from this wonderful player’ (The Independent)

‘Now regarded as one of the most consistently refreshing interpreters of Bach on the modern piano … as ever, Hewitt brings this music to life with remarkably crisp articulation in the brisk contrapuntal movements, deep feeling in the sarabandes and exhilarating joie de vivre in the final gigues’ (The Sunday Times)
