This is as faithful a piece of authenticity as you can get. The 1889 Cavaille-Coll organ, which spoke characteristically enough on LP, breathes even more confidentially on CD, its thrustful reeds and rolling montres speaking against a gentle respiratory background, together with the occasional click of an elderly joint—the organ's, not Peter Hurford's. A second hearing of his performances confirms my pleasure in them as dignified and natural interpretations, with every note clearly audible, and with seemly and sympathetic rubato. There is surprisingly little reverberation in evidence during the playing, but it's noticeable at the end. A lovely record.'
