Christopher Herrick’s Organ Dreams 1 is a musical Palgrave’s Golden Treasury, offering two centuries of Romantic ‘gems’ by composers from Franck and Alkan to Elgar and George Thalben-Ball, whose magnificent Harrison instrument at London’s Temple Church provides an ideally rich array of orchestral sounds. Immaculate playing, and persuasive advocacy of much bleeding-heart repertoire. Graeme Kay
