Performance **** Recording ****

“... an enjoyable disc ...”

Christopher Dingle - BBC Music magazine - July 2016

Recording of the Month

"... Martin Roscoe gives a stellar performance ...the BBC Philharmonic under their Spanish conductor Juanjo Mena should be equally praised. Mena has the BBC Phil sounding more Spanish than most Spanish orchestras in this music. Gerald Larner’s booklet notes are extremely informative and aid the enjoyment of this wonderful disc which also has excellent sound."

Stuart Sillitoe - MusicWeb-International.com - 20 May 2016

"... Martin Roscoe's performances are of exceptional skill and affection while the BBC Philharmonic under Juanjo Mena, finely recorded, play with a suitably hearted, open-hearted commitment."

Bryce Morrison - Gramophone magazine - June 2016
