Press quotes:
“This record is in every respect a treasure”
— The Herald “This is a great collection and the sound is as Ron Sharp left it.”— Bruce Steele, Organo Pleno “The acoustics are a joy; warm, flattering and intimate ... the Canon in D recorded here after the instrument's restoration, comes up so well as to suggest this is a more positive arrangement than the one for strings.”— The Melburnian “The playing and articulation cannot be faulted. The sound of the organ is heard close up: delightful for softer pieces and you could listen to those endlessly.”— Victorian Organ Journal Audio preview:
