Here is highly satisfying entertainment. I don't count Lefebure-Wely's least-nauseous steam-organ piece, which I was into before I realized what was happening. All the others are good clean fun, from Widor's portly march for a pontiff to Bonnet's elves playing hide-and-seek round the swell box. Guilmant's Scherzo gets a shade vulgar, but of course Gigout's Toccata blazes tastefully—Vierne's moonlight study, slightly borrowed though some of it might be, is a really good yearn, while his Westminster chimes (right or wrong? Does anybody ever remember? It's quite a tricky question) speak right through the London fog of gaslamp days. It is all superbly played, with a couple of andantes to recover your breath by, and wash upon wash of lovely organ tone realistically reproduced.'
