"Marcus Farnsworth, with his manly, superbly controlled baritone voice, does everything possible to mine the last ounce of color and drama from what can be some rather turgid material—The Shooting of his Dear is dour enough to curdle fresh milk—while the unison contributions of the amateur Weybridge Male Voice Choir add little to the settings’ inherent interest or charm. Pianist John Talbot’s immaculate contributions and the Naxos price tag only add to the allure of an irresistible collection."

Jim Svejda - Fanfare - May 2016

"The performances here are wonderfully convincing and individual—without at all being ‘quirky’ in any way—mindful and respectful of the provenance of this material, and the singing and playing are of a very high standard indeed. We need more of this repertoire on disc, and these musicians appear to be just the people to do so." *****

Robert Matthew-Walker - Musical Opinion - March 2016

"…[Marcus Farnsworth] has subsequently established a considerable reputation; …Here he is content to respond sensitively to the words without excessive pointing of them, and John Talbot is a most expressive accompanist. Some of the piano parts—such as The Oxford sporting blade and Gaol Song—have a sense of fun that anticipates Britten, and Parson and Clerk has a strong flavour of Warlock."
