“This is the first recording of the restored organ at Beverley Minster. This instrument is a fusion of work by different builders across different eras. There are choruses of Snetzler and the remainder is Hill (1885). Wood of Huddersfield has restored the organ in more recent times and in the last few years have added various things to enable it to speak with a greater clarity. Robert Poyser, the Minster Organist presents a programme to show off its versatility including a superb performance of the Reubke Sonata”. (Priory Recordings)

“…a marvellous instrument living within a wonderful acoustic.”     5 Stars – Organists Review
