“The conservative restraint of most of this intriguing collection is blown away by the rhythmic energy of the outer movements of Stephen Paulus's Triptych. Iain Quinn is scrupulous throughout but deserved the chance to show off - and so did the Coventry Cathedral organ.”
- Gramophone Magazine
“This is one spectacular organ recording, even given its Chandos pedigree. Pedal tones are vividly and viscerally registered, even in the quietest moments, and the sound is utterly undistorted, top to bottom, at all dynamic levels.”
- Fanfare
Recorded on a reconstructed 19th-century Harrison and Harrison organ in Coventry Cathedral, England, Welsh organist Iain Quinn presents a vibrant programme of American works for organ. Featuring pieces by Copland, Ives, Cowell, and Barber, this is a feast of contemporary music and makes a worthy companion to Quinn previous releases of Czech and Russian repertoire.
