“Carpenter is one of the rare musicians who changes the game of his instrument… He is a smasher of cultural and classical music taboos. He is technically the most accomplished organist I have ever witnessed… And, most important of all, the most musical.” — Los Angeles Times
“Extravagantly talented… the audience’s response was raucous… everything he touches turns fantastical and memorable.” — The New York Times
