This review is from: A Nantucket Organ Tour (Audio CD)

Many of the selections on this CD are performed at painfully slow tempos. Very slow tempos are a challenge. They require nuanced expression and judicious use, which is lacking in these pieces.

Included with the CD are very interesting notes about the Historic churches of Nantucket Island and their Organs. The pictures that accompany the notes show the diversity of the organs and if one has the patience to listen to the CD, one could probably pick out their musical differences also.
