Paul Carr in Chicago

Fourth Church Chicago Organ Dedication Concert Review

“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

‘2020 got off to a tremendous start on Tuesday 7 Jan when newcomer to Alton, Paul Carr, gave a most stunning organ concert. He opened his eclectic programme with his own arrangement of Johann Strauss II Overture to Die Fledermaus. What a start it was – demonstrating manual dexterity, absolute command of the instrument, maximum use of the organs colours and, overall, a standard that caused a widespread jaw dropping “wow” factor and spontaneous applause! (Usually, we reserve applause at the start and end of concerts but this was from the heart) Thereon, Paul’s programme went from strength to strength underlining this man’s utter professionalism. His programme was varied in taste and all pieces were delivered with expertise and musicianship of the highest order. A full review will follow but to see what you may have missed, Paul’s programme is shown here. Having ended on a high playing Vierne’s Symphony No 6: Final, Paul added as an encore, John Stanley’s (1713-86) B flat Trumpet Voluntary. The overall opinion from the audience was we must invite Paul back to Alton…soon!’

St Laurence, Alton 2020

‘…thank you very much indeed for your excellent and most enjoyable recital at Wesley last Saturday. You presented a very well balanced programme to show off the facets of the organ and also to appeal to the audience. …. Your introductions were just right and we had a lot of very appreciative comments about the recital from those who came.’

Wesley Methodist Centre Chester, 2019

‘Very many thanks, Paul, for your splendid recital for our Grand Re-opening of the Organ – the programme was absolutely perfect for our audience, our organ and the occasion – it made the recital really easy to sell and resulted in the Church being full to capacity which was wonderful. Your playing, as always, was stunning and our audience went home very happy – thank you so much for making our Grand Re-opening Concert such a successful and happy occasion… We do hope you will come and play for us again.’

‘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
