Release Date: Sunday 1 May 2005

'There is an aristocratic poise and restraint which illuminate Weir's readings of Clerambault's two Suites' BBC Music Magazine

'a marvelous Bach player who iconoclastically sweeps the mighty C major Toccata, Adagio, & Fugue BWV 564 and C minor Passacaglia & Fugue BWV 582 of their weighty cobwebs and restores their improvisatory impetus' 10/10 ClassicsToday.com

'an astonishing range of organ technique and sonority ... Weir gives a thrillingly dedicated performance ... The recording is superb. It is as clear and clean as a whistle, immensely wide in dynamic range' [Camilleri] Penguin Guide to Compact Discs

'Weir's formidable virtuosity is given free rein in Mulet's Tue s Petrus' BBC Music Magazine
