“Dutton’s rediscovering of British music continues with this worthwhile coupling of symphonies.” “Recorded and annotated to Dutton’s customary standards, this is a disc well worth acquiring.” Richard Whitehouse, International Record Review, September 2011

“… an intese response to the Sharpeville massacre of 1960. The music rises memorably to the occasion.” [Joubert] Peter Dickenson, Gramophone, June 2013
