Author: Ivan March
Apart from Bach, there is the arresting opening Prelude of Charpentier, and some popular favourites too, notably a fine forthright account of Jeremiah Clarke's
Also very enjoyable are the two Allegros from the four-movement suite selected from organ voluntaries of John Stanley, again featuring the trumpets at their most brilliant. I hope I may be forgiven for saying that I prefer the Bach chorales in their normal formats (especially ''Jesu joy of man's desiring'', with chorus and oboe obbligato) but that is not to imply that baroque music can't be stimulating when heard in different sonorities. Certainly this collection offers very good sound and I hope it makes new friends for the music.'
