"A landmark recording with Weir and instrument a perfect partnership"
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine July 2005

Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine July 2005

" A landmark recording with Weir and instrument a perfect partnership. (The 2004) Proms season gave the newly restored organ of the Royal Albert Hall a series of spectacular airings - and here, nicely timed to coincide with Priory's 25th birthday, is a splendid programme featuring the doyenne of British organists. Whether at full cry (Liszt) or quiet (Elgar's 'Nimrod') the organ's £1.5 million revamp has clearly been money well spent."
(Gramophone)

"Even those of us who treat the maxim 'big is beautiful' with some caution will find much to enjoy"
(International Record Review June 2005)
