Notes & Reviews:

"Anyone who enjoys, say, Grieg's Holberg Suite or Respighi's Ancient Aris and Dances will adore these treasurable, miniature distillations of the English Tudor tradition. Devoted performances from McCabe, glowingly recorded." -Julian Haylock, BBC

'Some of Howells's most affecting and personal miniature invention, constantly illuminated by moments of exquisite chromaticism. Performances, recording and booklet notes are exemplary' (CDReview)

'A lovely collection. Can I have it on my desert island, please?' (Gramophone)

'These exquisite miniatures are performed to idiomatic perfection... and Hyperion's sound is unobtrusively natural to match. Here is perfect late-evening fare' (Hi Fi News)

'Devoted performances from McCabe, glowingly recorded' (BBC Music Magazine)
