Reviews

"Børrensen's unassuming music is worth hearing. Sympathetic performaces" (Tower Classical News)

"Fullblooded Romantic music, with all the exquisite freshness and enthusiasm" (The Strad)

"Owain Arwel Hughes and the Aalborg Synphony Orchestra make out a very persuasive case for all four works in enthusiastic, accomplised performances, with Rebecca Hirsch a most sensitive and adroit soloist in the concerto" (Gramophone)
