"This recording of four concertos is a welcome addition to the other two fine Hoddinott CDs already in the Lyrita catalogue. The colourful music, performances and recording may be confidently recommended"
(MusicWeb Oct 2007)

"Though a prolific composer, Hoddinott has been far from fortunate in his representation by the record companies, so the current CD, part of Lyrita's attempt to redress the balance, is very welcome. None of these concertos is currently available anywhere else, which makes my task of reviewing easier - no comparisons to make - but is a sad reflection on the neglect of this composer. With four concertos, all dating from the first twenty years of his creative career, this disc makes a useful supplement to the two Hoddinott CDs already released by Lyrita. This recording of four concertos is a welcome addition to the other two fine Hoddinott CDs already in the Lyrita catalogue. The colourful music, performances and recording may be confidently recommended"
