“…The Chandos sound is superb in all four concertos, with an ideal balance between soloist and orchestra struck in every case. Annotations by Lewis Foreman and Andrew Burn set the context admirably. For those willing to veer off the beaten track and explore, there are many rewards to be had here.” Stephen Greenbank – MusicWeb-International.com – 31 August 2015
