Reviews
As far as I can judge, performances are excellent and superbly recorded. Jan Lehtola clearly enjoys the music and plays it with much zest and assurance. This hybrid CD sounds remarkably well even when played on a normal CD player.
In short, this well-filled release provides an excellent introduction to Hakim’s generous, honest and superbly crafted music. It will appeal not only to “organ buffs” but also to those who respond to accessible contemporary music.
