"The Dohnányi is a first recording, and as he spent his last years at Florida State University where I now work, this piece has a special relevance as his only organ work. It's a window into his compositional style at a young age, and there's no other piece quite like it in the repertoire.

The Kodály organ works have a distinct musical language that you do not hear with other works of the period, and in tandem with the transcription of Epigrams, they are a valuable contribution to the twentieth-century repertoire.

The Sokola is a piece that has long held a special place in the repertoire. The composer takes the letters of Bach's name and treats them in a unique fashion that is especially intense and compelling." - Iain Quinn
