Robert Quinney (organ) The Choir of Westminster Abbey, James O’Donnell ‘The choir, atmospherically recorded in the Abbey itself, sings this demanding repertoire with its customary zeal and a well-blended sound, and the performances are directed with the panache and style one has come to expect from James O’Donnell. Robert Quinney’s contribution as organist culminates in a Laus Deo from Jonathan Harvey aptly described by O’Donnell in his booklet note as “the opulent psychedelia of [Messiaen’s] Turangalîla compressed into four minutes”’ (The Daily Telegraph) | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
