Instruments by Hill, Lewis and Willis are heard alongside other contemporary examples showcasing the golden age in Glasgow’s organ-building history. The 20-page colour booklet comprises notes on the music by the artists, specifications of the organs and colour pictures of their consoles, an accompanying essay providing an overview of organ-building in Glasgow, and an individual note on each instrument.
"Classy playing, classy disc"
The Scotsman
"Their performances are stylish and sympathetic and the music and organs are beautifully matched. Full marks, too, for executive producer Matthew Hynes’s informative booklet."
"There is an obvious attractiveness in the idea of an ‘organ assortment’, and in such expert and enthusiastic hands this delightful collection of different tonal palettes and acoustics does not disappoint."
"I found myself thinking repeatedly how skilfully the players have used the resources of each instrument, achieving a wide dynamic and tonal range by judicious use of the available sounds. Whether for enjoyment or for a masterclass, do buy this CD."
ORGANISTS' REVIEW
"Their playing is always stylish and sympathetic; a joy to listen to. Matthew Hynes provides a first-rate booklet and this CD is undoubtedly a valuable showcase for British organ-building at its modest best."
