Daniel Cook plays the Harrison & Harrison Organ of St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol
"The Harrison and Harrison Organ at St. Mary, Redcliffe is the perfect vehicle for this music. The opening piece is the high spot of the CD and it is beautifully recorded too. Cook's sensitive, atmospheric readings do as much as the St. Mary's Redcliffe organ to show Dyson's work in the best light." (Organists Review)

Daniel Cook plays the Harrison & Harrison Organ of Durham Cathedral
"Daniel Cook has established himself as a most persuasive champion of organ music by composers from these islands......excellent booklet notes from Jeremy Dibble. His playing sounds like a labour of love and in partnership with the huge palette of sounds available to him at Durham, the music comes vividly alive. Neil Collier's recording captures the instrument and acoustic splendidly. Warmly recommended." Editor's Choice Organist's Review June 2015.

Daniel Cook plays the Harrison & Harrison Organ of St Davids Cathedral, Wales
It is, of course, at least as much the quality of Daniel Cook’s playing as the organ itself that makes every one of these pieces a pleasure to listen to. He judges tempi and gestures so well and brings real cantabile to the lines. His performances are characterized by a real sense of excitement on the one hand, and perfect control on the other.

Daniel Cook plays the Father Willis Organ of Salisbury Cathedral
In the space of 77 minutes, the listener is taken on a tour of the Salisbury Cathedral organ – from sublime celestes to raging tubas, plus everything in between, including exquisite solo voices. The fine music, faultless playing, and fabulous organ all seem to combine to create what might be described as "a right Romantic romp" through everything that's English. (Stephen D. Smith)
