Author:
There are many for whom the sounds on this record represent home. It is rare to find a recording of organ music played in the sort of parish church atmosphere which is the norm for thousands of people week by week. the organ of St James's Church, Muswell Hill occupies a chamber at one side of the chancel, a position helpful to choir and clergy but somewhat confined for the performance of solos. Nevertheless, it has an appeal of its own, and what we hear here is the deluxe version, with a fine Harrison organ expertly played. Stanley, Russell and the two Wesleys to be sure sound a little plumper than when played on old or reproduction instruments, but Parry, Wood and Stanford are in their element.
The well-rounded golden glory flooding from the organ chamber represents home also for Jennifer Bate, whose father was guiding spirit responsible for the assortment of tonal goodies within. The record displays with clarity what can be achieved inside these acoustic limitations. I feel there will be a warm welcome for it.'
