“…one of the more beautiful CDs I have heard recently… most of the names are new to me also, but that is what makes this CD all the more valuable. The soloist[s] are quite personable and give the requisite dramatic approach to the texts. If there ever was a gift for the collector who “has everything” , this is it.”

Eagle Times (USA)
“a rare opportunity… Eirian James’ style is well suited to this repertoire… she is in her element… Bradbury demonstrates that he has lost none of that technical efficiency and flamboyance… he achieves nuances of expression which bring a smile to the lips. The recording is very good… highly recommended”

“These performances are excellent… this CD can be wholeheartedly endorsed”

Performance **** Sound *****
“Eirian James… deploys her gleaming high mezzo gracefully and nimbly. Colin Bradbury is a liquid-toned clarinettist, phrasing alluringly and relishing his bouts of elegant virtuosity…innocent undemanding pleasures…”
Richard Wigmore
BBC Music Magazine
“ Everywhere in the programme [Bradbury’s] easy technique and natural musicianship are sympathetic to the music on hand….an attractive programme very well presented”
Christopher Howell

"The performances are very fine… Eirian James is a sensitive mezzo-soprano… Robert Murray … is similarly communicative and mellow… the beauty and personality of [Bradbury’s] tone merit admiration”
