Walton: Symphony No. 1 / Partita

"What is remarkable about the Daniel version is the transparency of sound, more detailed and more open than any other. Nor is there a lack of body in the string sound, which isn't opulent but has freshness and clarity. As for the reading, it rivals even Previn/LSO and Thomson for the way the tension is maintained at high voltage from the start, again with the most idiomatic feeling for jazzy syncopations and dramatic control of agogic hesitations for extra emphasis."
- Edward Greenfield, Gramophone, April 2002

"Daniel is fierce, energetic, fast, and driven, particularly in I."
- American Record Guide (Roger Hecht), July-August, 2000

"Irrespective of price, this is a version of the much-recorded symphony that competes with the finest ever, and outshines most"
- Gramophone
