Review:

"This remains a classic example of cathedral Bach playing at its best,
absolutely clear despite the vast acoustic and with dignified tempos
which marry the music to the building, without in any way detracting
from the excitement. I still hold my breath for the final pedal-reed entry in the 'St Anne' fugue. The glorious majesty of the Willis organ is here encapsulated in all its splendour.."
(Gramophone)
