“Full marks to the Dutton team, John Wilson and not least to Lewis Foreman for his scholarly work in unearthing these treasures. One of the best compilations of British music I have heard for a very long time. It will be paying repeated visits to my CD player and I am confident that it will figure in my 2010 Choice list.” Ian Lace, MusicWeb International, December 2009

“The BBC CO, which as everyone knows is a first-rate band, attacks all this deeply unfamiliar repertoire with relish and plenty of idiomatic playing.” “John Wilson seems well in command of every individual work.” Calum MacDonald, International Record Review, February 2010
