“… I enjoyed every work in this fine collection and found the playing of all involved to be superlative. Kudos are due to the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under Ben Palmer’s direction and to the soloists. I want to especially commend clarinettist Peter Cigleris for his spearheading this project. The sound is excellent, though the clarinet is a bit forward in the mix. Heartily recommended.”

“… The presentation is enlightening and respectable. Cigleris plays with a clean round tone and excellent technique; and Rowlands performs with great skill and eloquence. The orchestra renders each score with superb clarity and professionalism … for people interested in this appealing and heartfelt music, this album is very worthwhile.”

“… The performances of these four works for clarinet and orchestra are ideal. Clearly, the soloists Peter Cigleris and Deian Rowlands (Dolmetsch) have taken ownership of these concertos … and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under Ben Palmer have entered into the spirit of this music. The recording is great and the liner notes, presumably by Cigleris, are helpful… This is an excellent CD. How often do reviewers conclude by expressing the wish that the music were more widely known? I would extend that to include the achievements of all the composers represented here. Finally, I hope that clarinettist Peter Cigleris keeps up the good work and “rediscovers” many more forgotten scores.”
