Reviews
‘…carefully registered, neatly articulated and ideally paced playing… a very fine recording and plenty of historical interest’ Gramophone July 2017‘
Iain Quinn delivers this repertoire with great authority…’ Choir & Organ July/August 2017
‘…there’s the playing, which is immaculate and (not always guaranteed when immaculate), utterly charming. What seems to be just the right amount of breath permeates every piece, and the innumerable ornaments required are executed with flare and ease, never impeding the natural melodic flow Welshman Iain Quinn, now resident in the U.S., was born only in 1994, but plays with the authority of one much older. The combination of control and flare in the Mozart F minor Fantasia, for example, is electrifying…Wholeheartedly recommended. ’ Sydney Organ Journal Spring 2017
