Awards and reviews

2nd August 2013

the Goldberg Variations was originally written for harpsichord. However, hearing this masterful performance by Robert Costin on the Pembroke College organ, it's impossible to imagine that Bach...didn't compose it on such an instrument...A marvellous, engrossing performance by a true master.
5 out of 5 stars

Organ Club Journal

Helped by a sympathetic acoustic, Costin delivers a sensitive and accomplished performance, making this recording a strong contender in a crowded field.
