[Organ Recordings That Really Got Up Your Nose!]

As I should perhaps have made clearer, I wasn't faulting the playing in the least - Paul has a good reputation. Nor was my point really about the organ - I shouldn't have dropped that comment in. For me every track has a thin pervading hiss reminiscent of the bad old days of compact cassettes, which is just not there on other recordings, including others at Exeter, and which I find very wearing. I can't see that it can be a fault of my copy only. Oh well, perhaps it's my ears...

 

 

I have to agree - I've really tried hard to find merit in this disc, as it's often mentioned. But there's a really annoying hiss, and the balance sounds all wrong: very top-heavy, and the chamade-thing sounding very tinny at big climaxes.
