Hymns for the Organ January 8, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a disappointing CD. I've loved the organ and hymns over the decades, but this is suitable for funerals; not for Easter.
The dynamic range is rather simple, and the voicing (choice of pipes) is uninspiring. My spouse and I kept remarking that everything sounded like it was being played in a minor (~~sad) key.
On a positive note, I can recommend "Hymns on the Crystal Cathedral Organ" played by Frederick Swann.
It breaks my heart to have to give a bad review to published organ music.
