Review for Volumes 1 - 6
"Throughout these six collections the BBC National Orchestra of Wales are on top form; they obviously enjoy the music. Hickox is persuasively idiomatic an spontaneous, and the Chandos recording is first class)"

The Pengiun Guide – 1000 Greatest Classical Recordings 2011-12

'The performances exhibit commitment and a strong sense of familiarirty with all these works. Hickox is thoroughly persuasive at all times, and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales delivers the goods with deserved confidence' Full marks for this one.'

Fanfare

The performances under Hickox are as authoritative as ever.

The Guardian

As before, Hickox obtains excellent performances from his Cardiff musicians with some particularly expressive woodwind playing; Howard Shelley is a first-rate soloist in the Phantasm. There is excellent sound in this SACD recording, and authoritative notes from the Bridge expert Paul Hindmarsh. Warmly recommended.

Gramophone

'…I can't imagine anyone not falling head over heels for the second volume in Richard Hickox's series of orchestral music by Frank Bridge.'

Another absorbing Bridge anthology from Hickox includes two disc debuts.

'Richard Hickox's survey of Frank Bridge goes from strength to strength with a well-chosen programme that boasts excellent playing - and a premier recording of the 1911 Coronation March. Most impressive is the macabre Phantasm and the tone poem Summer, written at the start of the First World War, it's almost a farewell to a more peaceful era.'

The Independent

'As before, Hickox obtains excellent performances from his Cardiff musicians with some particularly expressive woodwind playing; Howard Shelley is a first-rate soloist in the Phantasm. There is excellent sound in this SACD recording, and authoritative notes from the Bridge expert Paul Hindmarsh. Warmly recommended.'
