R10 POUR REPERTOIRE, France 'The great coup of this new recording ... is to have secured the instrument on which the composer played. Nicholson's playing is unfailingly stylish' (The Times) 'The abiding impression is one of irrepressible tunefulness and joie de vivre … The instrument's special delight is the sweetness and delicacy of its flute stops … Here and elsewhere Nicholson plays with zest and virtuoso flair. The Brandenburg Consort match him in style and élan, while Frances Kelly is a graceful soloist' (Daily Telegraph)'Highly recommended, not least for a glorious rendition of the Harp Concerto and the novelty of the briefest contribution of Clare College Choir in an Alleluia finale' (BBC Music Magazine) 'Incandescent music-making. Mr Nicholson, the fieriest of virtuosos, makes us remember that Handel, who wrote these pieces for himself, was an organist of legendary prowess. The Brandenburg Consort's luminous strings play with particular point and charm, thanks to Mr Goodman' (Dallas Morning News) 'Superbly played' (Organists' Review)'Paul Nicholson's performances are musical, polished and wonderfully played and enjoyable to hear' (Cathedral Music).

"Charles Gayle Quartet to grupa będąca bezpośrednią kontynuacją późnego kwartetu Johna Coltrane'a. Gayle zaczynał grać w heroicznych dniach free jazzu lat 60-tych, w następnej dekadzie był jednym z liderów nowojorskiej sceny loft, w chwili jej krachu na początku lat 80-tych zażywał losu bezdomnego. Gayle jest przede wszystkim esencjonalnym piewcą owej ekstatycznej czarnej duchowości, która swe archetypowe wcielenie osiągneła w dokonaniach późnego Coltrane'a". (Antena Krzyku 01/2004) Muzycy: Charles Gayle tenor saxophone John Tchicai soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone Sirone bass Reggie Nicholson drums Tracklista: 1. Always Born (Gayle) 2. Needs (Gayle) 3. Solid Clouds (Gayle) 4. Coming Together (Sirone, Nicholson) 5. Rainbow's Praise (Gayle) 6. Then Offer All (Gayle)
