“When it comes to organ colour you won't get anything more dazzling than this. Frédéric Desenclos has chosen a glorious collection of pieces...[The Widor] sounds, like everything else here, absolutely perfect for this magnificent organ and is played with tremendous verve and enthusiasm...Everything about this can be summed up in a single word: stupendous.”
