Some word from the press:
There are several remarkable things about this release. The recording quality is astounding. The 4 concertos themselves are very rewarding in their wide range and musical content and the superb playing which is beyond criticism. (SA-CD.net)
There is much enjoyable music in all four works, splendidly performed in first-rate sound. (Nordic Sounds)
There´s a likeness to Edward Gregson´s wind concerti at times: and that, meaning tunefullness, idiomatic writing and lively ideas, is a compliment indeed. (Robert Beale, Manchester Evening News)
Virile recording quality, wonderfully provocative writing deeply harnessed to romantic models but breathing a wholly comtemperary ozone. (Musicweb International)
