Reviews

This is a splendid example of well-researched scholarship. * ECCLESIOLOGY TODAY * Gray & Davidson played a significant part in the development of the English organ... It is difficult to imagine better coverage of the topic than Dr Thistlethwaite's exposition. * BRITISH MUSIC SOCIETY * It is impossible to recommend this book too highly. It discloses a tremendous level of scholarship in a most accessible way, presenting a huge amount of detailed and verified information with extremely helpful ancillary history. This is a must for any serious organ enthusiast, as well as for the general musical reader. -- Barry Williams * Laudate, the magazine of the Guild of Church Musicians *


Gray & Davidson played a significant part in the development of the English organ... It is difficult to imagine better coverage of the topic than Dr Thistlethwaite's exposition. BRITISH MUSIC SOCIETY
