Reviews

"The orchestra plays with great refinement and total sensivity" (Fanfare)

"The sensitive performance by the Aarhus Sinfonietta under Elgar Howarth is impeccable throughout, with a keen sense of the weight and importance of each line. This is understated, enigmatic music which greatly repays close, careful listening" ***** BBC Music Magazine
