Erik Levi - BBC Music magazine - December 2000
"... The music is classic Alwyn; sturdy, expertly crafted, colorful, and emotionally expressive... Conductor Richard Hickox understands the Alwyn film style and the London Symphony Orchestra gets everything there is to find in the notes. Chandos has captured it all in a rich and detailed sound equal to its other Alwyn outings."
