Reviews

“The music is fresh and inspiring – Scottish composers old and new – which the performances abundantly reflect” Ken Walton, VoxCarnyx (Read the full review here)

“This disc is a wonderful selection of Scottish church music from the Renaissance to the present day.” Ian Munro, Church Music Quarterly

“I really enjoyed this attractive selection of music by 20th and 21st century Scottish composers.” Clare Stevens, Choir and Organ

“This is a finely imaginative programme and rightly a celebration of McPhee’s work at the abbey with his choir.” Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill – A world of classical music

“It is beautifully sung by the Paisley Abbey Choir, with an important input from the organist, David Gerrard and Ewan Robertson on the bass flute. The whole recital is presided over by the redoubtable George McPhee who has been Organist and Musical Director at the Abbey since 1963.” John France, MusicWeb International (Read the full review here)
