'Eloquent performances of some captivating rarities … absolutely not to be missed’ (Gramophone)

'Exquisite chamber music ... warm and expressive performances' (BBC Record Review)

'Performances are exceptionally fine ... and the recording creates a pleasantly intimate atmosphere for the listener to discover these little-known gems' (The Good CD Guide)

'Both works are played with great feeling and beauty of tone in an ideally sympathetic recording' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The first movement [In Gloucestershire] is pastorally rhapsodic and lyrical, melodically, harmonically and texturally inventive. Dyson’s Rhapsodies prove an inspired coupling'

'The central Rhapsody … is a heartfelt elegy, a glorious piece with a profound stillness at its centre’ (International Record Review)
