"... (Farr's) breadth of vision, intense sense of purpose and brilliant technique combine to make this a recording which deserves repeated listening."
- Gramophone
"... both instrument and acoustic combine with Stephen Farr at the console to allow the biggest sounds the space and the intimate sections the clarity they need ... the sound quality is quite first-class ..."
- Audiophile Audition
"... Farr is utterly outstanding, tracing the music across the seven movements with a kind of inexorable inevitability ... a great deal of subtle colour emerges ... repeated listening is an absolute pleasure."
- International Record Review
The world premiere recording of Judith Bingham's epic organ work The Everlasting Crown is brilliantly performed by celebrated organist Stephen Farr on this 2012 release. Based on a fictitious crown made up from real and famous gemstones, it is a work of amazing depth and range. Bingham draws on the mythologies and infamous owners of some of the world’s most precious stones, with each movement representing a different stone.
