“Alastair Stout’s Four Shetland Sketches for organ are not taxing to the player

nor do they demand an overall resourceful instrument. Witty without being arch,

at around seven minutes for the set they could  be played as a suite or used

separately as incidental service music. This is a very welcome addition to the,

as yet, very limited repertoire of worthwhile Celtic-influenced organ music.”
