“The precision and poise of the orchestra playing is quite impressive…In the finale the orchestra’s fizzy, feather-light playing is utterly delightful” – Gramophone

“The Britten Sinfonia demonstrated great artistic vision and ambition in mounting this three year cycle and Signum Classics is also to be highly commended for having the imagination to issue the results…The set is clearly essential for anyone interested in the development of Barry’s work” – Musicology Ireland

“Brilliantly sung by the soprano, Jennifer France” – Musical Opinion
