Review in The Scotsman the following day, 30 April, reported recital chiefly intended by Mr Oakeley to give those who had not been present at any former performances an opportunity of hearing the organ. Four new stops have now been added, all of a soft character, including a new vox humana and very beautiful effects were produced by means of them in some of the pieces played. In the Andante from Beethoven's C minor symphony we had a wonderfully close approach to the effect of an orchestra.
