Editorial Reviews
Organists' Review, November 2002
Coventry organ colours ... satisfactory for Pachelbel's "Wie schoen." Contrast follows in atmospheric sounds... Whitlock's ... merry postlude...is well-served.
The American Organist, June 2003
value of recording of magnificent instrument and Warren's performance: meditative, magnificent, revelatory, restrained, guiding, glorified...this recording [is] completely successful.
Album Description
This is the second disk by American organist James Warren on an English Cathedral organ. The Harrison organ in Coventy was commisioned when the decision was made to rebuild the cathedral following the bombing during November, 1940. Cuthbert Harrison said it was his finest. The digital recording is very clear and one can hear the 5 second reverb in the cathedral, and the brilliant French reeds, German baroque flues and the best of the English ensemble. The improvisations are again by the best of cathedral organists and other composers. The literature is American, English, German and French - truly an eclectic collection on a brilliantly eclectic organ in one of Europe's great spaces.

Customer Reviews:
Perfect for the Season.......2005-11-19
I purchased this years ago and the enjoyment has grown every Christmas. Handel's Messiah is beautiful, The Nutcracker is a classic and the arrangement of hymns conveys the true wonders of the season. While there is a place for pop carols, these classics should be in every Christian's music library. I loved this so much, I actually purchased a complete replacement set when I lost one of the discs. Certainly an excellent value that any music lover would treasure.
FOR WHISTLING OR SINGING ALONG.......2003-12-28
The gifted Richard Hayman (Boston Pops arranger for more than 30 years) offers an interesting collection of holiday favourites. The back cover says "Orchestra and Chorus" - beware, there is no chorus. The sub-title "Philharmomic Symphony Orchestra" is rather pedantic. Why not simply "Richard Hayman and His Orchestra"? The opening and closing numbers are sing-along medleys... the liner notes offer the words. Two Leroy Anderson numbers receive a fair treatment: SLEIGH RIDE and SONG OF THE BELLS, the latter being played rrather slowly. There is a beautiful rendition of MUSIC BOX DANCER, the only version I know that uses the music box. The counter-melody is too loud and takes away the charm of the main theme. A few compositions by the conductor himself. A great collection for tree-trimming, whistling or singing along.

Warren Does It Again!.......2002-08-31
Organist James Warren's new CD HOW BRIGHLY SHINES THE MORNING STAR is a wonderful sequel to his earlier recording ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. Again, Warren presents an enjoyable variety of improvisations on well-known hymn tunes from the console of a truely remarkable instrument: the Harrison and Harrison Organ in the Cathedral of St. Michael in Coventry, England. Personally, I find this recording even more interesting than the first, as the first contained settings of hymn improvisations by purely English composers. This new recording features works set by everyone from J.S. Bach to Healey Willan, from Johann Pachelbel to Dale Wood. Even the production quality seems more clear here than on the previous recording, and Mr. Warren's seemingly effortless technical work allows the music to dance and sparkle.
Professional organists and novice listeners alike will enjoy this new release. As with his previous recording, James Warren's HOW BRIGHTLY SHINES THE MORNING STAR is lovely enough for background accompaniment to your morning ritual; but interesting enough for serious, undistracted, cathedral-volume listening!

A thoroughly charming collection........1999-10-23
Just in time for the holidays, the Netherlands Bach Society has brought out a thoroughly charming collection of 17th century Christmas music. For this CD, the Bach Society Chorus is joined by a smaller group named the Capella Figuralis, both of them under the confident direction of Jos van Veldhoven. Several famous composers are represented on the disc, headed by Michael Praetorius, Dietrich Buxtehude, and, of course, J.S. Bach. Lesser known figures are also included, however, and some of the songs listed as Anonymous (not the Anonymous 4) are equally authentic and moving. Verily, they make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
