LONDON       “… a dazzling account of Dupré’s Second Symphony left little doubt that the Westminster organist is clearly among the elect … Mr. O’Donnell set a lofty mood with five pieces from Bach’s Clavierübung Part III, all rendered with sovereign command.”
The Church Times

ELORA, ONTARIO:           “O’Donnell’s solo organ works provided a fine sense of artistic variety and balance to the concert.  O’Donnell’s articulation was clean and precise, managing the progressive difficulty with aplomb and control.”
Waterloo Region Record, Ontario, Canada

IRELAND:  “O’Donnell is a master of his craft, a man who conveys the sound of the often monolithic-seeming organ with exceptional command of light and shade … In O’Donnell’s hands, the Prélude et Fugue sur le nom d’Alain sounded as deft and shapely as I’ve ever heard, virtuosic in finish, but touching, too.”
Michael Dervan, The Irish Times
