Remarks:

"Recorded at St Jude-on-the-Hill, in London’s Hampstead Garden Suburb, the sound is that magically unique combination of exuberant, detailed and delicate which Hyperion seems to be to capture on a regular basis. Check out the Sinfonia opening Part Three for some truly amazing drum thwacks in which you can hear the texture not only of the mallets but the drumheads. And no matter how wide Hyperion's dynamic range gets, it never seems to overload even the most sensitive systems. Not to mention David Vickers's exhaustive program notes will prepare you for the musical adventures. For music like this, it's well worth getting married!" -Audaud.com
