REVIEWS
The recording quality of this CD is excellent, with delightfully subtle reverberation added by the chapel interior… Parle's playing displays a strong sense of personal conviction… This is an interesting CD in which, on the one hand, Parle displays technical prowess and a self-confident approach to interpretative problems, and on the other, we are able to enjoy the sound of this exciting harpsichord [made by Bill Bright].
David Collyer

Parle confirms his high reputation with playing of great clarity and consistent impetus. The recording gives welcome prominence to the rich, firm lower-middle and bass registers of the Bright harpsichord.
