Reviews
PRAISE FOR NORMAN & GOULD’S PREVIOUS BRITTEN DISC ON STONE RECORDS:
Both sets of performances are very fine. Those from Oxford around Norman are easier on the ear … The Oxford performance has a wider-ranging essay by recent Britten biographer Paul Kildea … Both discs are well recorded. (International Record Review)
This release is a valuable addition to the Britten discography (Classical Iconoclast)
Those expecting five “canticles” will not be disappointed (Fanfare)
