A review of Robert's organ recital at the St.-Georgen-Kirche in Schwarzenberg (Germany) and a selection of photos can be found on the church website. Robert's debut CD The Franz Liszt Memorial Organ in Weimar (see the CD page for details) has recently been reviewed in The Organ and the Organ Club Journal:
"[T]he organ produces tones that are clean and exact, which is ideally exploited in those works where a clear texture is required, as in Liszt's ethereal reworking of Arcadelt's Ave Maria, or the crystalline lines of Pärt's [...] Annum per annum. [...] The rapid flourishes of Patrick Gowers's Occasional Trumpet Voluntary are fluid, and the premiere of the twenty-year-old Bertie Baigent's Bright spark is suitably luminous. [...] [Robert Pecksmith's] playing is accomplished and dependable." **** (four-star rating) Curtis Rogers, The Organ Magazine No. 375 (February-April 2016), p. 53 "Robert shows what this organ can do in a 62-minute programme featuring 12 works. He starts with Bach BWV 546, then Bright spark, a world première recording of Bertie Baigent [born 1995] of a work commissioned for the concert. [...] A very enjoyable recording, and especially pleasing to have a disc from a young player. - Well done, Robert. I would suggest a visit to the company website http://www.jubal.de - allow plenty of time." Organ Club Journal 2016/1, p. 66 Peter Buske's detailed review of Robert's recital at the Friedenskirche in Potsdam (Germany) is published in today's edition of Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten.
