‘The balance [in the Duruflé] puts you in the building in the most extraordinary way … that wonderful envelope of sound that just surrounds you as you listen to it. A shout-out for Harrison Cole—he’s done an extremely good job as a young organ scholar, aided and abetted by that wonderful French-style organ from van den Heuvel … so many sounds to enjoy … we really must mention David Hinitt and Adrian Peacock who have created a sound which I didn’t believe was possible, because it’s actually as if you are there … it is totally immersive, I don’t know how it’s done … wonderful.”
