“Chase Loomer from Charlotte, N.C, gave a highly nuanced interpretation of Herbert Howells’ Psalm Prelude No. 1 (Set 1), with seamless registrations that evoked the English cathedral tradition. He demonstrated virtuosic finesse in Liszt’s Prelude and Fugue on BACH, building the fugue incrementally from a distant, expressive exposition to resounding chords on full organ.” - The American Organist

 He built lovely crescendos and decrescendos and offered sensitive playing … delivered with confidence and sensitivity.” - The Diapason
