JOHN ELLIS: MUSIC FOR ORGAN, VOL. 1

 review extracts: for full reviews click here
“The disc opens with a very fine ‘Allegro and Pasasacaglia’. This truly is organists’ music.. Ronald Frost [is] superb and committed throughout. I have much enjoyed exploring John Ellis’s organ music... it has charm, it is practical and is suitable for recital work. The music is beautifully performed, recorded and annotated. Even for non-organists it would be well worth searching out.” – Gary Higginson (MusicWeb)
