"This splendid collection contains three gems in the shape of his orchestral Essays-a favoured form of his: concise enough to encourage structural discipline but free enough to give full rein to his considerable dramatic and melodic gifts. I don't believe they've ever appeared together before; I don't believe I've ever enjoyed them as much." (Gramophone)
