Awards and reviews
June 2021
Bingham’s sound pictures certainly excel in atmosphere, whether conjured from dark growling pedal work, the stylistically questionable tremolo shake, or full blazing chords in the French organ style. Everything is delivered with reasonable aplomb by Tom Winpenny at the main instrument of Sweden’s Västerås Cathedral.
July 2021
She has a highly original sense of how the organ can conjure up haunting, almost ghostly sounds, all of which are powerfully conveyed in Winpenny’s compelling performances.
