 The Title Says It All October 13, 2000
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
"Sunday music" it definitely is--at least it was, back when church music was spiritual, elevating, and interesting. My father is a retired church organist, and listening to this CD brought back a lot of fond memories of sitting in the choir loft, watching Dad at the console making blissful music. I grew up hearing this kind of stuff every week--I didn't realize how lucky I was till I got out in the big bad world and found out how dreary and mundane the music is at most churches! Judith Hancock employs a straight-ahead but accomplished technique to bring listeners some authentic church music that is not as often recorded as the big, blockbuster pieces. I would like to see more CDs like this on the market, since you can't get good music like this at church anymore.
Marcel Dupre Petr Eben's - Judith Handcock, organ August 17, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This Dupre / Petr Eben looks at first sight, like an unmutual mix of genre, despite the similarity in the period, as twentieth century organ masterpieces. We recall that Dupre made a spectacular performance in United States during the `40th. Here, the elegance in style of Dupre may contrast with the deep and tortuous mood of Petr Eben, but the worst didn't happened.
Otherwise, another aspect of this CD focused on eclectic religious sense of the repertoire depicted by the most outstanding sound of the Saint-Thomas's organ of New York under the hands of Handcock.
Hard at times, and corrosive in style, this organ music mixture is not uninteresting. The smoothest of Petr Eben's work was chosen here, with the "Sunday Music". Depicted as an austere and dark personage, Petr'Eben leads nevertheless the audience to summates, mainly in his Sunday Music, full of sunshine and easygoing mood. At times, this piece remind me the old Sundays of the past, as time didn't seem to go so fast, making this apart weekday a sort of "out-of-time".
Not so popular by organists and organ fans, mostly hang to the French or German repertoire, Petr Eben is still a curiosity for which a great attention worth the detour.
 MUSIC FOR THE DEMENTED July 3, 2006

Judith Hancock's organ music is, to the hearing, what razor blade braille would be to the blind...extremely painful. This music is like that furless, wrinkled breed of dog, so ugly that it's weirdly cute/good. And so begudgingly, I must concede that one must have some sort of talent to produce such an unrelenting tirade of clashing tones. Perhaps the same talent/muse that guides old men to wear black dress sox with sandals or that which urges obese woman to squeeze into spandex for that ultra chic "bursting sausage effect".Yes let's blame it on a tone deaf muse.
Ah,but let us not be to quick to dismiss, for with the right marketing, a cult classic's in our midst! Just think...the S & M practitioners will love it & the chaotic satanists might enjoy it too. Then there's the whole REVENGE aspect - just open the windows, turn up the volume & LEAVE, thusly forcing that neighbor you love so much to listen to music that has surely convinced the suicidal to swallow just one more pill. EGAD!! Murder by music, what a concept!And how about the perfect gift for that someone you just can't stand (but must, due to circumstances). Oh yes my dears, this one's a winner - a prank CD that's the cherry on the sundae...a little music for the demented...and so very much more...
