‘Lambert was a maverick, rebelling against convention, and these dapper performances convey both his brilliant craftsmanship and his boundless zest’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘The performances are splendid. David Lloyd-Jones and the English Northern Philharmonia give the impression of enjoying themselves as much as the composer evidently did … pianist Jonathan Plowright brings just the right amount of vitality, wit and delicacy. A must for all British music enthusiasts’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘A worthy successor to Hyperion's earlier Lambert discs’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘This excellent premiere recording from Hyperion may well restore a major score to the repertory, even perhaps to the stage’ (The Times)

‘Glasgow gave Europe two of its leading musical talents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thanks to yet another adventurous project from Hyperion, their legacy is guaranteed’ (The Scotsman)

‘The world of classical music should be welcoming to these freshly liberated works long condemned to dusty shelves and unmerited oblivion. Well done to Hyperion and all concerned in the project’ (MusicWeb International)

‘A thoroughly likeable issue, well worth exploring’ (Gramophone)

‘Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra do offer vivid accounts that are inspired, insightful, and invigorating and that succeed in capturing the music's strengths. The brass are potent, the strings sumptuous, the winds rich in tone, and the perspective quite realistic. All are a credit to Hyperion's now-legendary engineering … this is an important release and one that makes opening your wallet worthwhile’ (Fanfare, USA)
