“Toccatas from Coventry is clearly a disc for the cathedral shop, and I’m sure it will sell like hot cakes. The wonderful Coventry organ has something fresh to say, as does the splendidly rhythmical David Poulter. This is a collection of sonic delights and colourful, musical, disciplined playing.” ORGANISTS’ REVIEW
“My favourite in the Regent series is David Poulter at Chester Cathedral (REGCD 173) who offers convincing playing, a fine instrument, and imaginative repertoire. Saint-Saens’ thrusting Improvisation No. 7 gets it off to a sizzling start; Stanford’s D-minor Postlude confirms the master, and some explosive Reger rounds off.”
CHURCH TIMES“David Poulter should be commended for his enterprising programme, and his playing is excellent.” THE DIAPASON (USA)
“David Poulter’s recording Organ Music from Chester is played with fastidious precision and control, and delightfully registered. David shows his Rochester roots as one of Percy Whitlock’s successors, with affection and charm in his playing. Well worth hearing and persuasively played.” ORGANISTS’ REVIEW
“This recital (Chester Summer Music Festival) was played with great authority and panache, with lots of variety of mood and colour, rhythmic vitality. It was well-prepared, well-controlled, with stunning dynamic contrasts where required and lovely use of the quieter registers and, above all, totally secure.” NOEL RAWSTHORNE, Organist Emeritus, Liverpool Cathedral
