Two recent reviews:
"In his first solo recording, Gowers takes on Messiaen's epic - and it would be hard to ask for more."
December 2018
Messiaen CD made Gramophone Editor's Choice
'There is a sense here that he feels the music, that he shares much of the Messiaen’s vision and that he knows exactly what he wants to music to say to the listener.'
MusicWeb International Review
'Gowers justifies the confidence placed in him by delivering a splendid performance which I enjoyed greatly.'
November 2018
Opus Klassiek Review (Netherlands)
'Nu is het dan de beurt aan Richard Gowers, evenals Preston vóór hem een van de vele 'organ scholars' van King's College Cambridge en gezegd moet worden dat hij daarin met vlag en wimpel is geslaagd.'
October 2018
Messiaen, La Nativité du Seigneur awarded 'Disc of the Month'
'The intimacy and illumination of Gowers’ reading has brought this piece to life in ways I scarcely thought possible.'
