"Pascal Tortelier's performance of the Second is very attractive and very well recorded. Some years ago, Edward Greenfield made a side-by-side comparison of all the then available recordings of the Organ Symphony and came out in favour of the Tortelier version as a 'best buy', both for the appeal of the performance overall and for the state-of-the-art Chandos recording."
(Three Stars Penguin Stereo Guide)

"The most Francophone of the discs, this has some delightful touches like the subtle space before the second subject. Tortelier escorts Gillian Weir to church, wearing piety and learning elegantly." BBC Music
