"Elgar had a genius ... for charming , melodically irrisistable miniatures." "... we have the premier recording of Air de Ballet, probably Elgar's first orchestral work ... the fresh tunefulness is utterly characteristic, and David Lloyd-Jones treats it with the same respect and loving attention as he does with everything else on this thoroughly enjoyable disc." Stephen Johnson, BBC Music Magazine, August 2018

"This ... Elgar programme is interesting in that it includes two premiere recordings." "... the programme benefits from the happy collaboration of the BBC CO under David Lloyd-Jones and Dutton's superb recording." Rob Cowan, Gramophone, November 2018
