Notes & Reviews:

This Dutton Epoch series release features previously unrecorded works by Arnold Bax. The strings of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic create a powerful impression in the Variations on the name Gabriel Faure and the early Symphonic Serenade. These two tuneful works for strings are a delightful addition to the canon of recorded Bax. They are coupled with works by Richard Arnell, Stephen Dodgson and Norman Del Mar.

Gramophone Magazine
[Del Mar's Allegro Concertante] sounds as though the writing is grateful for the player...With Stephen Bell a brilliant soloist, Martin Yates draws strong and purposeful playing from the BBC Concert Orchestra...All the other works have Yates conducting the refined strings of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in equally strong and sensitive performances.

Classic FM Magazine
To avoid sounding mawkish, this kind of idiom needs a really focused sound in performance: Martin Yates conjures exactly that from the RLPO string section, which responds with serious class
