"This outstanding program comprises four very fine cello and paino works by four distinguished modern-but-essentially-traditional British composers in excellent performances and very good sound Mark Lehman - American Record Guide - November/December 2014

"This disc is a praiseworthy reissue of a collection of recordings previously released by the British Music Society…this CD is self-recommending to anybody interested in British music in the latter half of the twentieth century, and Naxos are to be congratulated on its reissue.We are not likely to get further recordings of the music—and indeed any prospective rival would have its work cut out to match these performances—so potential purchasers are advised to snap this one up while it remains readily available. Paul Corfield Godfrey - MusicWeb-International.com - July 2014
