“... All the pieces are well played, with Gamba’s interpretations sympathetic. This is labelled Volume 1; I look forward to Volume 2.”

“Lovers of British music of the early twentieth century need not even begin to hesitate before purchase.  ...  Rumon Gamba and the orchestra are superbly suited to all this music, and the programme itself is of course unique... This is not just a collection for British audiences; the music deserves to have an international circulation. Lovers of British music of the early twentieth century need not even begin to hesitate before purchase; and hopefully there will be many more volumes in this series to come. There is certainly no shortage of suitable material which lies off the beaten track.”

**** Excellent Disc        **** Exceptional Sound

“... all of these pieces exhibit genuine creative gifts (some rather more than that), and are performed and recorded with skill and conviction... this is a most notable release, and I look forward to its successor(s?).”  *****

“A highly enjoyable wander away from the familiar British path... The playing is suitably characterful throughout.”  ****

“... Rumon Gamba and the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra are on excellent form and produce readings which sound entirely sympathetic... An encouraging start to a valuable series of British orchestral music.”  ****

“... This is altogether most enticing; in fact, I’m already looking forward to the second volume!”
