“… superb disc, which every lover of organ music should add to his or her collection…”
Johan van Veen – Musicwebinternational.com – 12 May 2024
“… Ponsford’s playing is authoritatively affectionate throughout, enhanced by a superbly informative booklet, with individual registrations for each piece carefully annotated. The instrument is in fine fettle and perfectly recorded.”
Malcolm Riley – Gramophone magazine – February 2024
