Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians ”This disc opens with the St. Lawrence Sketches of Alexander Russell (1880-1953) which, half a century ago, were a staple of the organ recital repertory… but have now largely been set aside. The music is essentially programmatic in content, but when played with sympathy and integrity, as Wilma does play them, they are well worth hearing. … Wilma plays exquisitely. … The playing is consistently idiomatic and fresh,and the sound is excellent.” – Victor Hill
The Living Church “Wilma Jensen’s latest recording captures the rhapsodic sound-world of early 20th-century organ masters, featuring works inspired by the ambience of French churches and their organs, of rich color and intense power. … the 1986 Casavant organ is convincingly French-toned for the program at hand. Jensen revels in its coloristic opportunities… Jensen is one of our country’s finest recitalists. Her interpretations here are committed in character and faultless in execution.” – Jeffrey Smith
