Concert Feedback

“Spell-binding technical prowess with musicianship to match!  Excellent programming and well-paced with a nice dish of dessert at the end of the musical repast.”
--Charles Luedtke

 “Trotter put on a memorable recital. I was very impressed with his registrations—the tone was never muddy and the inner voices could be heard clearly. A friend of mine had noted that the reeds on that instrument are very individual in color; they’re not simply louder or softer variations of the same sound, and Trotter used the various reeds superbly.”
--Mark Thompson

 “It was a wonderful recital – fine selection of pieces performed – excellent venue – very well attended.  It was a mini-vacation for me and I hope there are more!”
--Paul Otte

“Mr. Trotter's supreme musicianship was evident.  He was totally engaged in the music.  Thus, every composition, in its parts and in its entirety, was alive: it was music.

Here is a note of historical significance:
Sixty-two years ago, in January of 1950,  another organist from Britain performed the canons of Schumann at Martin Luther College.  He was E. Power Biggs.”
--Prof. em. Bruce Backer, Martin Luther College

"The concert was a truly memorable experience, featuring one of the half-dozen most outstanding organists I have heard in over 52 years of attending recitals.  When students excel their teacher(s) and the teacher is Marie-Claire Alain, you know you have witnessed a world-class talent.  It was clear that Trotter had not only made the superb 57-rank Schantz instrument his own but had also polished a familiar program for this second venue his three-stop U.S. tour."
--Prof. em. Dennis C. Henry, Gustavus Adolphus College
