Paul Carr in Chicago

“Paul Carr’s dedication concert of the new Quimby organ at Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago was absolutely electrifying and he received an instant standing ovation from the hundreds of enthusiastic people that attended. He brought out so many colors from the organ, creating wonderful effects and a huge range of expression. His technical abilities made even the most difficult of pieces sound easy, yet he always played with a musical expression perfectly suited for each piece. His comments between pieces were delightful and helped the audience enjoy the concert even more. If every organ concert was as enjoyable as the one played by Paul Carr, organ concerts would be packed to the rafters.”

Dr John W W Sherer, Director of Music, Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, USA, 2016

Other Reviews

‘Thanks for a superb recital Wednesday evening…. This was my first live experience of the Salisbury Willis and it certainly is an impressive instrument. Choice of programme also provided new experiences including the Bossi Etude, which was a real delight. Thanks especially for the Bach Sinfonia encore, which is a personal favourite transcribed for organ. Registered in a way I feel sure JSB would have used that mighty machine had it been available!….’

‘What tremendous pleasure it gave me to be present at your usual impeccable performance on that magnificent instrument, and I have a feeling, that to a greater or lesser degree, you are inspired by the particular organ you are playing at the time, and in this case I am literally running out of superlatives to describe what I was hearing… thanks for a memorable occasion.’

Salisbury Cathedral, 2017

“You played an outstanding Organ Prom again, and the audience really did appreciate it… Programme, playing and registrations were, as usual, to the highest standards, and I hope that you will return again.”

Victoria Hall Hanley, 2016

“Ein glänzend aufgelegter Paul Carr zeigte in einem wahren Feuerwerk abwechslungsreicher Werke mit hohen Tempi und farbigen Registrierungen („More Organ Fireworks“) sein enormes virtuoses sowie künstlerisches Können und begeisterte das Publikum mit technischer Brillanz und musikalischem Einfühlungsvermögen.”

Orgelpunkt Magdeburg Dom, 2016
