“…On the strength of the quality of the material on display in this Chandos disc, Rumon Gamba and his BBC forces should lose no time in mining further treasure from the Rawsthorne film scores. Recommended to film music fans and admirers of Alan Rawsthorne alike.” - Paul Conway
“… a fine follow-up to Rumon Gamba’s and the BBC Philharmonic’s superb programme of The Film Music of George Auric. Highly recommended for fans of quality orchestral film music and devotees of 20th Century English music.” - Gary S Dalkin
