Title: wow.....
Review: I first heard Dr. Susan Jane Matthews live in recital at the Himmerod Abbey, Germany on July 27, 2008. Of the many organ recitals I have heard on the great Klais organ of this abbey, I thought it truly was one of the greatest. Because of this, I obtained a copy of her recording Chosen Tunes, from Grace Cathedral, San Francisco. Though the space and organ are different, in this recorded performance I hear the same genius and virtuosity which I heard live at the Himmerod Abbey. While it is always difficult to fully appreciate a pipe organ from a recording, this recording does give a wonderful glimpse of the phenomenal sound of the organ and acoustic at Grace Cathedral.I hope that in the near future Dr. Matthews will make more recordings and return to Germany to perform once again.
Is the review positive or negative?
