Nothing here is less than superbly crafted and orchestrated, and excellently performed.

International Record Review

Margaret Fingerhut’s limpid pianism proves tailor-made for such gorgeously lyrical tenderly poetic and subtly integrated offering, which bids farewell in the sunset glow of a somewhat Baxian epilogue…. The BBC Philharmonic under the sympathetic baton of Paul Daniel seem to enjoy the experience, and the engineering is as ripe and accommodating as we have come to expect from Chandos. More Bainton, please!

Gramophone

Bainton is, however, worth knowing, and is strongly espoused in these premiere recordings by Paul Daniel and the excellent BBC Philharmonic.

BBC Music Magazine

These performances vindicate the decision to revive him, with Margaret Fingerhut excelling in the concerto’s outpouring of lyricism.

The Telegraph

The performances under Paul Daniel, though, with Margaret Fingerhut the agile soloist in the Concerto Fantasia have just the right sparkle and elegance.

The Guardian

All of these expertly played, engineered and annotated performances deserve a place on any self-respecting collector’s heaving shelves some of the most gloriously perfumed, gently ecstatic music ever to emerge from the pen of an English composer. Margaret Fingerhut, one of the most radiantly musical of pianists, plays with such alluring sensitivity and effortless command that one cannot help but be one over.

International Piano

Paul Daniel, as usual, delivers focus and energy in these performances. He brings out a great deal of harmonic, orchestral, and contrapuntal detail, but momentum never falters; not even in the highky elastic flow of the Improvisation’s final pages from the Concerto fantasia. The BBC Philharmonic is fully alive to the colouristic demands of each work, notably in the sharply accented string writing of the Bacchanal and the rich, constantly shifting orchestral textures of the elegy. Margaret Fingerhut has the technical and colouristic demand to do full justice to the Concerto Fantasia.
