Featuring recordings of his 'Tuba Concerto' with soloist Ross Knight, as well as his 'Three Goddesses' concerto for viola and string orchestra, and 'Concerto for Oboe' alongside his 'A Song for Bram' and 'A Song for Sue' it has also been selected as one of the 'Recordings of the Month' in the November issue of Gramophone magazine.

Positive light

It called the release one that telling underlined "the evolution of his idiom throughout the decades" and also one that presented his music "in an unfailingly positive light".

The reviewer Richard Whitehouse stated that his 'Tuba Concerto', "can rarely have been launched this thunderously and Ross Knight assuredly has its measure."
