«Interprétation idéale» (Diapason, France)

‘This was always a fine recording, and to have it in such great sonic shape again for a reasonable outlay is a double blessing indeed. This is music of rich evocation, provocatively played here … we are lucky to have this superb reading by the Coull, who have this music in their blood … the sound is top grade Hyperion, and the program fills a huge gap in the discography’ (Audiophile Audition, USA)
