EDITOR'S CHOICE - Mark Stone could not be more sensitive in his response to the words with his remarkably clear diction, and his accompanist, Stephen Barlow, is comparably understanding, helped by the realistic sound quality recorded in the Champs Hill Music Room. Stone's own detailed notes on each song as well as his brief biography of Quilter ideally enhance enjoyment. An outstanding disc of English song, making one look forward to the forthcoming issues in this Quilter songbook. (Gramophone)
CHOICE FOR THE CURIOUS (The New Release Show, Classic FM)
Stephen Barlow's project to record all of Quilter's songs is a worthy one... this first instalment, sensitively sung by baritone Mark Stone with Barlow accompanying, is a promising start (The Guardian)
Stone's engagingly natural style and immaculate diction are supported by Barlow's sympathetic playing. (Sunday Times)
Rich in nuance, sensual contrasts of colour and range of textual expression... collectively eloquent and ideally committed to extracting the essence of each song - **** (Classic FM Magazine)
