‘Altogether this is a wholly delectable disc of spirited miniature concertos where the composers are never let down by paucity of invention. Performances are lighthearted and polished, and beautifully recorded. Most rewarding and entertaining’ (Gramophone)
‘Roscoe and the Guildhall Strings have put together an attractive collection here’ (American Record Guide)

‘I have to be honest: of all recent CDs from our 'land without music', this has been spinning on my player the most’ (The Times)
‘Martin Roscoe and the Guildhall Strings approach these light-as-a-feather gems with sincerity and assurance. Their playing is impeccable and agile … those of you who have developed a taste for the ongoing light music series on Hyperion … will find this release a required purchase … this is a truly delightful, genial compilation of attractive and shamefully neglected English early-to-mid-20th-century light music for piano and string orchestra … I enjoyed this album immensely’ (Fanfare, USA)
‘Bravo to all’ (International Piano)
‘Martin Roscoe and his colleagues obviously enjoy themselves enormously, and their readings of these attractive works are beautifully recorded … this delightful release is a joy from first to last, and is unreservedly recommended’ (MusicWeb International)
‘Martin Roscoe … is the sparking soloist in this enchanting disc’ (Yorkshire Post)
