The Organ of Romsey Abbey

"This has been a review of near superlatives and I make no apology for it...David Coram has obviously got the measure of [the organ] and his performances demonstrate an easy musicality – a sparkling energy when needed but also a measured approach when the music demands." (The Organ Club Journal)


As a soloist:

"Congratulations on a very fine and enjoyable organ recital last evening. Your playing was superb and I much enjoyed your programme. Very well done indeed. Was pleased to see so many people supporting you."

"Well, I was there and glad of it. Well done and congratulations on a brilliant performance with a good touch of humour. I hope you enjoyed doing it as much as the audience seemed to enjoy listening."


As an accompanist:

"You were lauded to the skies this evening. The choir and the audience loved you, and it was terrific to have you carrying the whole thing.

(You can quote that if you want!)
You can quote that if you want.

And so on."


"These words will not do justice to the superb way in which you played the organ at the concert last Saturday and for accompanying the choir so skilfully and with such lovely tonal qualities. It was a real tour de force for you and the applause at the end when you were acknowledged said it all, I thought. You played most beautifully and with such musicality throughout which so enhanced the performance the result of which was to give so much pleasure to all who attended the concert... You accompanied with such skill, talent and understanding that the whole was a most moving experience. Indeed some people said that they had not heard it performed better."


"I would like to say how very much we are all enjoying having you as our accompanist... you are a very fine player and give a great 'lift' to the choir in your accompaniments. Thank you so very much."

"Make no mistake, David Coram is one of the finest players in the South of England and widely recognised as such."

"Just an inadequate note to thank you so much for your great playing yesterday in the Cathedral. You actually carry the musical burden of the Services so it was comforting for me to have you on the organ stool... Thank you for all you did to make this possible."
