"In its openhearted commitment to letting Elgar's orchestration serve as the interpretative guide, and so moving mostly at a leasirely pace where everything that's going can be properly heard, this performance could also serve as any person's guide to the instruments of the orchestra...
It's one of those satisfying instances where the recording engineer has caught perfectly the sound and sense of being there...with the sheer presence and weight that real sound possesses"
- Laurence Vittes, Gramophone -
"This new recording engineered by Keith Johnson is typical of the Professor's natural sound, accorded transparency and depth
He records the Kansas City Symphony beautifully - Elgar's very particular orchestration and dynamic markings have not been captured better on record
The Wasps, especially the fantastic overture, is underrated Vaughan Williams"
