'Nympholept… could hardly have better advocacy than on this desirable CD.'
Which CD

'Bryden Thomson draws out all the romance and passion of these complex, colourful scores… You can sense the sultry, perilous enchantment of the midsummer forest in Nympholept; the music, Debussy-like, capturing all the languor and enticement of the unobtainable… This is music to make your imagination run riot. Sumptuous sound…'
BBC Music Magazine
