EDITOR'S CHOICE (ORGANISTS' REVIEW)
'This is one of the most exciting organ CD's I have heard for a long time … Keith John gives us an Elgarian recital that displays his dazzling virtuosity and ability to capture the orchestral qualities of a well-known favourite … His rhythmical and brilliant technique stands out as a beacon for others to follow … this for me is one of the finest CDs I've heard' (Cathedral Music)

'it is frankly spell-binding from the very first note … the depth of interpretative insight shown fully justifies the endeavour, remarkable as that achievement is in itself. Do listen' (Organists Review)
'one gladly salutes Keith John for his virtuoso performances … A very fine achievement' (Gramophone)
'It's a tribute to his technical mastery and imaginative choice of registration that the 'Enigma' can be transformed into such a compelling solo for one man's hands and feet' (Classic FM Magazine)
