"..confirmed in my admiration by this, both technically and musically among the best things the gramophone has given us. The music is not difficult for any open-minded listener to enjoy...filled with the composer's ecstatic response to the manifold beauties of springtime, of innocence and eager youth… Such a performance, and such a recording, were worth waiting for" - Gramophone (Spring Symphony)
"Memorable as it is joyous" - Penguin Guide (Spring Symphony)
"evokes the very different moods of the Sea Interludes intensely and atmospherically" - Gramophone (Four Sea Interludes)
