Sleeve Notes

'Some of the most joyously delightful music that you will ever hear' (American Record Guide)

'Rimsky’s youthful quintet is a thoroughly diverting piece … like a garrulous but endearing friend whose loquacity is readily borne for the sake of his charm and good nature' (Penguin Stereo Record Guide)

'Two delightful rarities' (The Musical Times)

'Captivating' (Hi-Fi News)

'A most striking performance, beautifully modulated, elegantly phrased ... very well recorded indeed' (BBC Record Review)
