Textura Magazine reviews Jan Kraybill’s The Orchestral Organ recording in their July 2019 issue:
“On The Orchestral Organ, Dr. Jan Kraybill performs organ transcriptions of material by Sibelius, Holst, Wagner, Verdi, Barber, and others, and while many of the works are familiar, they assume vivid new life when presented in this organ-only context. … Representative of the album are the treatments of Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Sibelius’s Finlandia; being so well-known, they offer case studies for how effectively the transcriptions enable the listener to experience familiar material in a new way. … Regardless of whether the material is familiar or not, Kraybill faithfully adheres to the works’ transcriptions, her primary focus on honouring the material as written and staying true in her performances to the character and dynamics of the original creations.”
