Reviews
-
The inventive ingenuity in every fragment Britten produced is extraordinary, while the practicality and economy involved in writing for these ensembles left a more permanent mark on his music too, particularly on the scoring of his three chamber operas.
Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 09 March 2007
-
Perky winds, brass and percussion dominate, and Brabbins' accounts with the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group vibrate with character.
Geoff Brown, The Times, 01 March 2007
-
Stunningly inventive music.
Julian Haylock, Classic FM
