“Credit to Dutton for rooting out a genre I had not previously even thought of: 19th century American concert music for string orchestra. Victor Herbert wrote shelves-full of music theatre ... but was also an adept of the concert hall. A successful foray into a newly revived genre. More please.” Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International, March 2010
