Reviews

“… Recordings are as precise and committed as expected from conductors Pablo Urbina and Michael Seal, the spacious acoustics of Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall doing full justice to the composer’s alternately luminous and effervescent sound world.”

Richard Whitehouse – Gramophone magazine – June 2024

Performance ***** Recording *****

“… this release sees a warmly-recorded orchestra, two conductors and a soloist taking her [Howard’s] approach on board with empathy an aplomb … Her rhythms are capricious, her melodies good-humoured and often couched in gently deceptive phrasing and lush yet unpredictable orchestration…”

Roger Thomas – BBC Music magazine – June 2024
