| “Decker has become well known as a recitalist
and composer over the last several years. She is a skilled composer
for the organ, with an intuitive sense of its capabilities and limitations.
The works on this disc display this ability to the extreme.” |
American Record Guide,
September/October 2000
|
| “Pamela Decker’s triptych, Rio abajo
rio, another Seattle commission, [description]…is quite arresting.” |
The American Organist,
October 2000 |
| “Pamela Decker, though not as decorated
a composer as either Larsen or Locklair, takes no backseat to either.
Kairos assumes symphonic dimensions and textures in its shifting from
restless mystery to sweeping bravura…” |
Fanfare, July/August
2000 |
| “The pieces are brilliantly performed
by Pamela Decker on the Flentrop organ of St. Mark’s Cathedral
in Seattle…This is music of intelligence, craft, and emotional
intensity. Decker, with her personal connection to every piece on
the disc, plays them with conviction, skill, and élan.” |
The Diapason,
November 1998 |
| “Dr. Decker’s Toccata had been
heard the previous week as part of the repertoire for the NYACOP (National
Young Artists’ Competition in Organ Playing) Semifinals; that
piece and Kairos show her to be a composer of depth, skill, and superb
instincts.” |
