"The DR-Van den Heuvel organ is very definitely one of the best concert organs in the world. the majestic and colourful symphonic characteristics of this solo instrument can be an ideal, not only in dialogue and competition with the orchestra, but also in supporting it. I am sure this royal instrument will inspire organists, conductors and composers to give pleasure to many"
