“It might be hard to imagine an organ recital audience giving out a yell that a hockey crowd might envy. But so it was as PETER RICHARD CONTE finished the last bars and the packed house erupted into a standing ovation and delighted laughter. The merriment was entirely appropriate–and cumulative. From the first piece Conte riveted attention and demanded respect….Standing ovation? Better call it a flying ovation.” (The Santa Fe New Mexican)
