		The Lemmens Fanfare, with which the disc opens, resembles the famous Widor Toccata; the Mailly is subtle and delicate, and the de Groote and Callaerts are as rousing as one might wish.
		The shadow of Mendelssohn looms large over much of this music, but it is none the worse for that.
		Even the 20th-century works are gently meditative and liturgical in mood, and there is enough contrast in style and in the sonorities of the organs employed to maintain variety throughout the recital.
