Digital Booklet

"…sympathetic accounts… Butterworth's Two English Idylls, The Banks of Freen Willow and the sublime Shropshire Lad rhapsody. Tension levels rise markedly for exceptionally insightful readings of Howells's Procession, Merry-Eye Elegy (an extraordinarily rapt display) and lively 1949 diptych Music for a Prince (these last three with the NPO). Warlock's An Old Song and Patrick Hadley's gorgeous One Morning in Spring (written in 1942 for Vaughan Williams's 70th birthday) complete the feast."
- Gramophone
"...a welcome sample of the work of a highly discriminating composer. Merry-Eye offers some lively and attractive invention...Supreme performances and recording, with an outstanding coupling of Butterworth's items."
