Reviews

Although he held the position of Master of the Queen's Music for 22 years, Arthur Bliss has never received his full due. Never mind - this superb compilation will win him new fans.

Add three mesmerising suites, including the unforgettable Things to Come, mix in two concerto stunners and top off with the magnificent Discourse, and you have a perfect English musical recipe.
Julian Haylock, Classic FM Magazine, 01 March 2006
...lively, committed performers whoe appear to believe in every note of these works.
