GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE
DIAPASON D'OR
‘This charming ode shows [Linley] sharing with Mozart something of that barely definable but unmistakable gift of melodic genius. The music is as beautiful as the text is absurd, full of shapely tunes ...
‘There are few discs I expect to enjoy half as much in this year's listening. Very enjoyable, unpretentious music; a disc very well worth trying’ (Gramophone)
‘One of the most unexpected delights I've had for a long time’ (BBC Record Review)
