(4 out of 5 stars)

"True, it is extremely difficult to find records of organ works by these three composers. So, if you want to acquire their complete works - this is my case - run for this CD. Hora's interpretation appears a little studious, yet (except for Glagolitic Mass' Intrada) I have no basis for comparison. Most reference books don't even care mentionning them. Maybe there is a reason: they are relatively early, minor compositions. Listening to the CD at full length results in experiencing boredom.Finally, if the word "complete" means something to Mr. Hora, it means something else to me. For example, Leos Janacek composed at least one other opus with organ: "Otcenas" (Our Father), for mixed choir, harp and ORGAN."
