Awards and reviews
January 2017
King is a fine organist at the helm of a fine instrument, and steers Mendelssohn’s E minor fugue to a superbly articulated resplendent close. At lightning speed he scuds effortlessly up and down across three keyboards at the end of Eben’s Moto Ostnato…and he crowns an invigorating workout with Reubke’s formidable Sonata on the 94th Psalm.
