writes James Hildreth in The American Organist, January 2008,
. . . This wonderfully cosmopolitan instrument is inspired by diverse elements of historical organbuilding . . . Speaking in an acoustically warm space, the instrument boasts bold voicing, with plenteous foundations, clarity of ensemble, and a bounty of distinct color. In this well-produced recording, St. Bartholomew's organist-choirmaster Brad Hughley demonstrates the instrument's stunning versatility in a well-conceived, brilliantly executed program . . . Timothy Tikker's exciting, hypnotic Toccata Kopanista (premiere recording) is cast in the French toccata idiom. . . . Throughout, Hughley demonstrates his exemplary musicianship and technical mastery."
writes Richard Blakely in The American Record Guide, January/February 2008, . . . Hughley is an excellent organist and manages well the weidr range of styles and periods in the program. There are two pieces he plays especially well. The first is the Sweelinck. Very few organists seem to be able to project this music across the centuries that separate the composer from us. This one does; the lively dances are evocatively played. The second piece that is given an outstanding performance is the Duruflé. That it can be so well executed . . . is a credit both to the skill of the player and the excellence of the organ. Bravo!"
