'I can highly recommend this CD for the wonderful mixture of Britten's chamber works and the all-round excellent playing' (The Musician)

"This is a disc I can wholeheartedly recommend. The pieces are well-chosen - slightly unusual but all the more welcome for that, and the sensitive, characterful performances are of a consistently high standard. The notes and presentation are good, although I was surprised to see the artistic director listed along with the performers on the disc cover – what other ensemble lists their managing or artistic director on the back? Otherwise, this disc cannot be faulted"
(MusicWeb July 2006)
