“All the performances are beyond praise and superbly recorded. Undoubtedly my best disc of the last 12 months.”
"Every phrase speaks. Textures are translucent and detailed, the string sound glows from within."
"Delicious from beginning to end, the performances from Sinfonia of London and John Wilson are wonderful."
"Ravishing - a performance that balances fragile beauty and fulsome passion. Urgently recommended.
“The playing of the Sinfonia of London is astonishingly brilliant, with Hollywood-dream glories in the string tone.”
"Terrific...if Wilson and the Sinfonia of London carry on like this, it will become a memorable partnership."
"Deprived as we are of big orchestras, this disc is a joy: massive, audacious and vividly played."
"I have never heard this music presented with such power and detail and sheer visceral excitement - it is literally revelatory. A genuine triumph."
