THE DIAPASON JULY, 2007 Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish Kenosha, Wisconsin Cover feature on pages 26–27 “The 50th anniversary celebration of the Bach Festival culminated in a very impressive organ recital by Huw Lewis. A performer with an international reputation, he presented an almost-all-Bach program of thoroughly challenging works....With panache, Lewis deftly negotiated the many moods and rapid-fire register changes that make this work (Liszt BACH) such a dynamic closing number.” (Kalamazoo Gazette MI) “Dr. Lewis played with great authority, but also with an elegance and sensitivity to style, room, and instrument, and received the first standing ovation of the [AGO] convention.” (The American Organist) “Superb music, superbly executed...His repertoire includes the greatest, most demanding of the master works for organ and he plays them with great understanding, technical mastery and sensitivity....Lewis, with incredible technical skill, kept everything under control and tasteful.” (The Holland Sentinel MI) “Apart from being immensely enjoyable, it was an object lesson in how to prepare for, and give, a performance at the highest level on an instrument not of your choosing. Another memorable feature was the marvelous freshness of [his] playing following so many hours of grinding practice.” (K. B. Lyndon, RCCO, London ON) HuwHuw LewisLewis Concert Organist Faculty, Hope College, Holland, Michigan “I must tell you how delighted we were with the masterful performance by Huw Lewis...I am thrilled with the musicality of his playing. Anyone who can command the attention of an audience made up of non-concert- goers on the most gorgeous Sunday afternoon of the fall while playing a Bach Trio-Sonata on the most mediocre of instruments is an artist indeed.” (Larry L.
