Organists’ Review “Mark Laubach’s playing is beyond reproach. He brings a formidable technique to bear in the best possible manner: nothing is glossed over or made to sound trivially easy. On the contrary, his depth of feeling and passionate (yet controlled) declamation is completely satisfying.” – Paul Hale
The American Organist “Both the Reubke and Liszt Ad nos showcase Laubach’s sure technique as well as his clear concept of registration, which is carefully planned to achieve maximum effect. If I may say so, it takes something of a giant to bring off this challenging music successfully – which Laubach certainly does, with aplomb.” – Eileen Guenther
