Richard Hickox inspires the BBC National Orchestra of Wales to a brilliant performance, vividly recorded…

Gramophone on CHAN 10080 (Volume 3)

A fascinating programme, extremely well played and recorded.

The Sunday Times ‘CD of the Week’ on CHAN 9981 (Vo

The four pieces follow a pattern: Michael Berkeley’s newer music is far darker and more atonal that his father’s. The two distinct personalities yield a varied, contrasting program of great interest.

American Record Guide

This magnificent series devoted to the two Berkeleys continues… as in the previous three volumes there are revelations, with Richard Hickox as the ideal interpreter in every way.

Gramophone on CHAN 10167 (Volume 4)

'Played with fervour and authority by the forces for whom it was written, this performance caps a welcome addition to the Berkeleys' discography.'
