"Bonaventure finds some extraordinary sounds and the result is undeniably effective. Congratulations to Delphian on an innovative, daring and challenging release."

"This fine player has commissioned more than 50 works in 25 years. Here are eight of them, recorded on the organ of Edinburgh University’s McEwan Hall and including Bonaventure’s own louring, tone-clustered Animus VI. The title piece, Ian McQueen’s 2000 Nails, is a 20-minute evocation (and millennial update) of Edith Sitwell’s second world war poem Still Falls the Rain, and at once meditative and turbulent. The hammering of crucifixion nails is patently audible, but part of a tight, plainsong-derived argument."

"This Edinburgh organist has liberated the king of instruments from its often-perceived church role by championing new music.  The works on this CD from the bold and enterprising Scottish label run by Paul Baxter of Inverness exploit the organ’s resources by using contemporary harmonies and rhythms."

INVERNESS COURIER

"I was impressed throughout by the vitality of compositions and performances, not least for the way in which new textures and sounds were included, yet all within the corpus of organ music over the last 150 years.  This disc is well worth acquiring and the music repays repeated listening."

THE ORGAN

"Bonaventure's insight, technique, and commitment are riveting. The unique instrument, with its power and bountiful color (including Hope-Jones Diaphones) serves the music well in a grand space of six seconds reverberation. If you're weary of the "same old, same old," try this!"

THE AMERICAN ORGANIST

"the CD opens the door of the possible as far as the organ is concerned It's not for the musically faint-hearted, but I thoroughly recommend it for everyone else."
