In A Verdi Organ Album, Martin Setchell's effective and musicianly set of transcriptions puts some well-known (and lesser-spotted) Verdi tunes into organ-friendly form. Along with the usual suspects ('Brindisi', 'Grand March', 'Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves') there are some less familiar items, each supplied with contextual and (sometimes) interpretative notes; the general preface also sheds some fascinating light on the tradition of Verdi transcribed for organ. * Stephen Farr, Choir & Organ, March 2020 *
