'Herrick lavishes his usual musical and technical skills on pieces both great and small' 'A definite recommendation for this latest 'Fireworks' CD is in order'
(International Record Review)
"Hyperion's sound is transparent and broad as ever."
***** Five Stars. BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
January 2002
'Hyperion has found … the key to the continued success of this hugely enjoyable and, at times, downright spectacular series of 'organ fireworks'. Herrick is a musician with a powerful urge to communicate. And communicate he does, drawing on his enormous technical and intellectual resources to turn out performances which sometimes amaze, often astound but never fail to stimulate' (Gramophone)
The glowing reviews from the previous eight CDs in Christopher Herrick's series should indicate the potential enjoyment to be had from hearing this CD. Here the repertoire includes the majesty that is Widor's celebrated Toccata, a transcription of Bartók's extremely attractive Roumanian Folk Dances, and Bach's grandiose Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor.
