Organ Alternatives … this CD is a definite delight for anyone who enjoys a solid mix of brass and wind. – Mark Campbell

The American Organist … the 97-stop re-created Reuter organ sounds noble, and Webster’s trumpet collection adds to the considerable music interest of this notable disc. – Vernon Gotwals

The American Record Guide
“If you like brilliant trumpet tone, this will appeal. … Paul Klemme is a good organist who varies his voicings and favors soft sounds (perhaps in response to the brilliance).“ – Kilpatrick – May/June 1998

The Organ Twenty lovely melodies from Bach and Telemann to Rachmaninoff and Lloyd Webber. A friend to whom I loaned this CD commented that he had never before heard so successful a marriage of organ and trumpet and that sums up this highly listenable-to CD. – BSt-JN
