Reviews

November 2022

Sheen takes the title of his recording from Elgar’s Cockaigne Overture, the centrepiece of his programme and a work played here (in an arrangement by the organist’s father) with musicianly flair. Both the music and this performance exploit all the possibilities of the magnificent Dobson organ at St Thomas Church, Fif th Avenue in New York, completed as recently as 2018.
