"Five Stars ... performances that blend aesthetic nuance with bravura showmanship ... vivid recorded sound adds to the considerable pleasure."
- Choir & Organ
"... a superb recital that explores a wide range of music. Kitchen has presented a number of new works (possibly to become new favourites?) and some well-established masterpieces. He brings huge flair, understanding, characteristic humour and an intimate knowledge of organ registration and repertoire to this disc."
- MusicWeb International
Edinburgh city organist John Kitchen has established a hugely popular series of concerts featuring the Usher Hall organ and draws on its repertoire with this glorious celebration of the instrument’s centenary. An evocative recent commission from 2014 British Composer Award winner Cecilia McDowall resounds with the theme of bells and pre-echoes music featuring the instrument’s own extraordinary carillon. Jeremy Cull’s compelling transcription of Hamish MacCunn’s Land of the Mountain and the Flood rubs shoulders with a set of unique Dance Variations on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and a major work by Bach.
