Performance ***** Recording ****

“A useful collection of Wallfisch’s ground-breaking, repertoire expanding Chandos issues. His reading of Finzi’s valedictory Concerto won Radio 3’s Building a Library (2006). The Moeran shines too.”

Helen Wallace – BBC Music magazine (Reissues section) – September 2016
