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

A fascinating, revealing disc… Richard Hickox and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales are first-rate champions in all these pieces… and the recordings are every bit as good as the musicianship deserves.

Crowned with Song

BBC Music Magazine ‘Monthly Choice’

The spacious sound and Paul Hindmarsh’s informative notes are well up to the standards of the earlier five volumes. A pity that, like all good things, this series has to end…

International Record Review

The nine orchestral songs shared between tenor Philip Langridge and mezzo Sarah Connolly, and mostly recorded for the first time, prove the most rewarding. Connolly sings two exquisite Tagore songs with rapturous intensity, while Langridge is superb in Bridge’s 1918 setting of Rupert Brooke’s ‘Blow Out, You Bugles’.

The Guardian

Richard Hickoxs invaluable survey of Frank Bridges orchestral music for Chandos… [is] one of the most important contributions to British music on disc in the last decade.

The Guardian on CHAN 10188 (Vol. 4)

Throw in some spick and span playing from the BBC NOW and Chandos’ commendably natural engineering, not to mention Paul Hindmarsh’s scholarly notes, and you have a job well done. Might Hickox now be persuaded to turn his thoughts to Bridge’s lovely one-act opera ‘The Christmas Rose’?

Gramophone

Hickox conjures a marvellous range of colour and expression from the players of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales… The conductors version of The Sea is the grandest and bestrecorded on disc…
