‘All the performances are first class. The Manchester Sinfonia is a recently established professional concert orchestra…….With a complement of around 12 musicians they play with affection and commitment throughout as do the soloists. The recording is clear and warm with a good stereo image. There is some unusual, original music to be heard here and the disc can be recommended to adventurous listeners who are seeking out something different.’
