"... Conductor Andreas Hotz presses the score forwards with considerable urgency, all the while laying careful emphasis on the subtle yet telling use of counterpoint that is the hallmark of Gál's style. The playing and choral singing are exemplary."

"... Here is a player who obviously loves this music, relishes its opportunities for exploring the tonal resources of this magnificent organ and gets right down into the very soul of the music... a valuable addition to the Widor discography"

“… To Hammond’s credit, she lets this appealing music speak for itself, never yielding to the temptation of burdening it with undue portent or extraneous affect. Nicholas McGegan and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra (which will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its sounding next year) are her supportive collaborators. The exquisitely poignant Larghetto of the F major Concerto, with its delicately coloured accompaniment of muted violins and pizzicato lower strings, is alone with the price of the disc…”
