American Record Guide “The organ works well despite its placement, and the sound engineer for this recording has done such a good job of microphone placement and technical editing that one can hear the organ better in the recording than from any single place in the church. Suter has clearly mastered this awkward instrument. The release is called Romantic Thunder, and there is plenty of that. I was won over, though, by the beautiful phrasing and regsitrations of the second movement of the Liszt. Suter projects the lyrical quality of this music wonderfully and shows off lots of the original Skinner stops …. Suter uses the 64’ reed … The effect is like a sustained fire from a machine gun … Liszt might have liked the 64’ reed. When thinking of Liszt, concern over excess is pointless. … Suter is a gifted man from whom we will hear again and, I hope, often.” – Blakely
The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians “…certainly Suter does this war-horse (Reubke Sonata on the 94th Psalm) full justice.” – November 2001 – Victor Hill
The Living Church “Mr. Suter has an impressive list of achievements, including top place in a number of organ playing competition, so he is equal to the demanding repertoire. So is the organ. … You are to be overwhelmed, as Berlioz said of the Dies Irae of his Requiem, ‘Crushed by a tremendous emotion.‘“ – December, 2001 – F. Mark Siebert
