’The playing of this young musician is, as I have implied, very fine and at all timed highly musical. His registrations are excellent and the detail of his part playing is first-class. Here is a rare collection, splendidly presented and recorded, which is very strongly recommended.’ International Record Review on Czech Music for Organ CHAN 10463
 

Tender is the North presents a programme that offers a glimpse into the rich treasure trove of Scandinavian organ music. This fascinating selection of works from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden contains two premiere recordings - Nystedt’s Med Jesus vil eg fara and Másson’s Larghetto, written specifically for this programme and hitherto under-recorded such as Sibelius’s Intrada, Op.111a and Palmgren’s Preludes.

This recording from Coventry Cathedral should prove a fascinating and rewarding collection.
