Walsh plays everything with assurance and good control. His tempos tend toward the slower side...The Vierne pieces are nicely performed and seem made for an instrument like this.

September 2004
…Walsh's playing is effortless and sparkling (aided, of course, by the organ's exhibition-standard mixtures) and the virtuosos 'Évocation' from Langlais's Homage à Rameau, in particular, is negotiated with enviable insouciance.
1st October 2004
The three pieces by Langlais are beautifully done. I enjoyed the marvellous Suite Brève, short in terms of playing time but packed with invention...A most desirable disc. One of the finest organ recitals that I have heard recently.
February 2005
Walsh studied with Langlais for three years, which led him to specialise in this repertoire and the Langlais on this disc can probably be regarded as an ideal reference...the Dupre Evocation which ends the disc is a tour de force of Frenchness from an English organ (not forgetting Father Willis’ French studies), and a stunning way to end the disc.
