"Gary Cooper is the hero of the disc...emerging as the
accomplished, poised soloist in the harpsichord and organ pieces...Pride of
place must go to Cooper's vituoso performance of the Harpsichord Suite in C [by
Locke], for the colours, resonance and command of complex textures, rhythms and
ornamentation."

"Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in d minor was particularly remarkable

fantasia and part Ozzie Osbourne."

"Cooper played solo harpsichord pieces [from Pygmalion], giving
them taut, crisp renditions that still had plenty of rhythmic flexibility and
gusto."
