"All four soloists are first-class and the composer elicits effective and idiomatic readings from everybody concerned, while Dutton's signature acoustic is on full display. This is a release designated purely forauditory enjoyment"

“Joseph Horovitz stands out among today’s composers for writing approachable music beautifully crafted. These four compact concertos are prime examples, colourful and attractive. The Concerto for Clarinet and strings is tuneful and lively, while the Concerto for Euphonium and chamber orchestra handles a tricky instrument imaginatively, even more tunefully than the clarinet , with a warm melody in the slow movement. The Violin Concerto brings a jaunty first movement, while the Concerto for Jazz Band and Orchestra winningly draws on jazzy syncopations. Brilliant performances, strongly conducted by the composer.” The Penguin Guide to CDs and DVDs 2009 edition
