“Nigel Potts is a superb musician in the most artistic sense, which is what matters first. His abilities as a colourist are especially profound, and the lyricism in his playing is as beautiful as can be imagined from any performer. He deserves to be heard widely.” Stephen Tharp, Concert Organist, 2006

“Nigel Potts is a musician of exceptional refinement; his resplendent playing and alluring personality resonate with those who thought they never cared for organ music.”
Paul Jacobs, Concert Organist, 2005

“When Nigel Potts takes his place at the console, an audience can be assured of a stimulating program, with plenty of energy, exquisite expression and refreshing repertoire. He knows how to engage his listeners from the first note and has the individuality and imagination to bring alive whatever music he is playing.”
Professor Thomas Murray, Yale University, CT, 2005

"The superb playing and accompanying on Sunday were highlights for me -- his reputation is richly deserved."
Richard Webster, Hymn Festival Guest Conductor, 2005

"Such energy and fire that organ has not seen in some time. The artistry and phrasing, ingenious registrations all come together in both sensitive and exuberant musicianship yielding a wonderful program."
Thomas White, AGO Presenter, East Hampton, NY, 2004

“…clearly inspires the richly talented Nigel Potts to great heights of achievement in his compellingly splendid playing... I have enjoyed this disc very much; it is richly rewarding”.
Paul Hale, Organists’ Review, UK, May 2000

“…the Duruflé Scherzo played so lovingly.”
Michael Barone, The American Organist, October 2000

“The playing is excellent throughout as are the choices of registrations. We hear sweeping crescendi, diminuendi and complex, juxtaposed, orchestrally inspired registrations. A very enjoyable CD.”
The Sydney Organ Journal, Australia, November 2000

“Nigel’s recording (So Mote It Be!) is simply an aural delight (which includes) his brilliant transcription of the first movement of the Mozart Jupiter Symphony. He mixes the virtuosic with the understated (and his) playing shows not only technical control, but also a sincere dedication to the idiom and to the colors of the instrument.”
The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians, May/June 2004

“This is an exciting recording, (So Mote It Be!)…it is a powerful collection of music by Masonic composers played on a great Scottish Rite instrument.”
Scottish Rite Journal, May/June 2004

“Nigel’s registrations are extremely orchestral and the playing is first class. Two of the works have been very successfully transcribed by Nigel.”
The Sydney Organ Journal, Australia, March 2004

“Nigel Potts has a marked affinity for organ performance in the Romantic and orchestrally-inspired idiom.”
Professor Thomas Murray, Yale University, CT, 2001

“His Delius (‘The Walk to the Paradise Garden’ transcribed by Nigel Potts) performance gave us a very fine example of orchestrally-inspired shading and coloration…very difficult to do successfully on the organ, but highly satisfying in both the refinement of the transcription score and in his realization.”
Professor Thomas Murray, Yale University, CT, 2001

“An extremely impressive performance given by a gifted musician….the organ (Woolsey Hall, Yale University) was used in the most colorful way possible”
Professor Martin Jean, Yale University, CT, 2001

“It was an absolutely splendid program in every way and from beginning to end...(he is) a real ambassador for the organ and for Whitlock!”
Bruce Neswick, Canon Musician, Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta, GA, 2003

“The playing was beautiful - what a wonderful survey of the organ works of Percy Whitlock and of the treasures of our organ.”
Susan Matthews, Principal Organist, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA, 2003

“…we heard more from the instrument than I can recall ever hearing from a visiting recitalist.  His use of the instrument for the sake of good musicianship was exemplary! … he projects the music instead of himself … This guy is a ‘sleeper’ in our midst.”
Dr. Karl E. Moyer, Presenter, Grace Lutheran Church, Lancaster, PA, 2001

“It immediately showed Mr. Potts’ amazing ability to learn so many of the intricacies of this complex instrument. His use of registration and expression was a hallmark of his entire performance.”… “Played (Sonata No.1 by Alexandre Guilmant) with fire, accuracy and brilliance, the whole audience rose at its conclusion to give Nigel Potts a standing ovation. We all know that he is on the way to an extraordinary career.”
William Hubert, Glens Falls Post Star, NY, 2001

“This disc is an interesting compilation of transcriptions and organ works from ‘Around the World’. Potts is a good player… and I will follow his career with great interest. The (Paul) Spicer works were the most unfamiliar; he has a natural flair for composing for the organ, and his music is accessible and enjoyable. Overall, a worthwhile recording.” 
Bond, American Record Guide, May / June 2000

“Nigel’s ability to prepare and perform significantly complex music in a very short time while retaining a commendably relaxed demeanour was nothing short of amazing. (Nigel) won widespread admiration and praise for his performance...Not only was Nigel’s ability as a player outstanding, but his mastery of a new instrument in a very short time frame without losing his sense of humour was a revelation.”
Peter Stockwell, Presenter, Dunedin Town Hall, New Zealand, 2000

“This was a really FUN recital - Nigel played the 1922 Austin very idiomatically - lots of color. I would very happily recommend Nigel Potts to any of you looking for a recitalist. He is a fine player and a charming person.”
John Martin Marks, Presenter, Grace & St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Baltimore, MD, 1999

“His comfortable mastery of the vast organ and reverberant acoustic of the Cathedral (Washington DC) was a joy to hear.”
David Barton, Washington DC,1998
