GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE

'This CD contains one of the masterpieces of British music of the last century ... Savitri deserves a place of honour on the shelf marked "British" (International Record Review)

'An attractive disc' (BBC Music Magazine)

'A fine issue' (Hi-Fi News)

'Full, immediate recording' (The Daily Telegraph)

'Most vivid and sensitive performance' (Gramophone)
