“… Joubert’s works are powerful statements, none more than the Third Symphony … there is a powerful cogency to Joubert’s writing that underlines its dark-hued intensity. Boughton shapes the surging phrases impeccably; climaxes have a natural inevitability… Joubert’s 1958 Piano Concerto unfolds on a large scale, muscular in its outer movements. The orchestra’s role is prominent, with Martin Jones a sure soloist. Rewarding listening.” *****

“… I really enjoyed this symphony. The thematic material is memorable and the scoring brings the music to life in a most colourful way If music had to be cut from Jane Eyre for very good reasons then I’m very glad that it has found a new home in this symphony. The work is an essential adjunct to the opera. William Boughton and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales play the score with great commitment and skill…. This is a fine concerto and Martin Jones, ably supported by William Boughton and the BBCNOW, makes a very strong case for it.This CD is an important addition to the Joubert discography. The performances are excellent in every way and have been recorded vividly. Paul Conway’s extensive notes provide an ideal and highly knowledgeable introduction to the music.”

"Martin Jones is scintillating in Joubert's spiky Piano Concerto ... the Symphony No. 3 is terrifically characterful." ****

“…All of this music is approachable, emotional and sincere, full of richness and marvellously performed under the direction of William Boughton, a conductor who has given many performances and who has made previous recordings of Joubert’s works…”
