“Yet another spectacular rescue act in the finest Dutton tradition.”
Editor’s Choice, Gramophone, April 2011

“... RSNO respond with heaps of spirit and commendable polish for Martin Yates, and the sound is immensely realistic to match. This bold and generous pairing merits an enthusiastic recommendation.”
Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone, April 2011

“That I should have such strong reactions to these two works, even on the first hearing, is testimony to the vividness and commitment of Yates’s interpretations with the RSNO musicians, who seem to be playing at the very top of their form.”

“The recording, too, is up to Dutton’s highest standards. An important issue, which I find myself returning to repeatedly.”

Calum MacDonald, International Record Review, January 2011
