The technical aspect of the recording is excellent. (...) This release is welcome.
Ralph Blakely, American Record Guide, March 2002
Jan Lehtola revels in the rich and pungent registrations of the Doesburg Walcker Organ, built in 1916, and his performances are assured, shapely, and completely convincing.
