About the reason for the inclusion of the Widor Toccata, Martin writes: "This was the opening track of  my first CD on the Rieger when it was installed in 1997. It is included here to ‘link hands’ with the past  as the ‘pealing organ blows’ again and begins a new chapter in its life."

All tracks except  * were recorded in Christchurch Town Hall, 26-27 January 2019. 
* Original recording September 1997, from Let the pealing organ blow (MANU 1539).  By kind permisison of Ode Records​

Great Australasian Organ Series - Vol 7  -(Priory label)

OUT OF PRINT - Sorry
Recorded in 2010 on the Christchurch Town Hall Rieger, this CD features many French pieces befitting the instrument's French 'accent'. It was the last recording made on the organ before the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 closed the auditorium and silenced the organ for an unknown length of time.

Festive Trumpet Tune - David German; Overture to the Occasional Oratorio - G.F.Handel;  Premiere Symphonie in E flat maj Op.20 - Lazare-Auguste Maquaire;  Celebratio - Karl Jenkins; Litanies - Jehan Alain; Suite Carmelite - Jean Françaix; O salutaris hostia (from the Mass in G minor) Camille Saint-Saëns; Bolero de Concert - Louis Lefébure-Wély; Fuga sopra un Soggetto - Stefano Bertuletti; Ronde française Op. 37 Léon Boellmann; Toccata in F - Jules Grison
