'Likeable works which are given performances of such conviction that one is thoroughly carried along' (The Scotsman)
'Splendid, eloquent performances in clear, warm sound plus Jeremy Dibble's scholarly notes full of insights about the period of these compositions makes this an issue not to be missed. One is left dumbfounded that the [Parry] concerto could have lain neglected for so long' (Classic CD)
