"A debut disc of a player demonstrating considerable musical and technical assurance, we should look forward to his next release"
Organists Review
"Nolan not only draws real sparkle from the instrument, using its unprepossessing resources to amazing effect, but turns out a magisterial account of the Sonata's first movement"
Gramophone
Following the success of Joseph Nolan's appearance in Music for the Coronation of James II (SIGCD094), he returns to Signum with a solo disc of organ music, capturing music from some of the finest composers of the instrument. With J.S. Bach's famous Passacaglia in C Minor to Noel Rawsthorne's Dance Suite, (with inspiration from Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance) this disc certainly pushes the boundaries of organ music.
Fresh from a tour of the USA in 2007, Nolan has found international recognition as well as his commitments as organist at Her Majesty's Chapels Royal where he was appointed in 2004.
