"Alexander Pott’s thoughtful programming and assured playing illuminate the instrument’s capacity to honour tradition and embrace innovation."

“The Choir of Royal Holloway under Rupert Gough are typically exemplary in every detail, with some outstanding solo singing when required, all very well captured by the Convivium team.”
"The Polyphony choir perform quite magnificently. The recorded sound is excellent: everything has been caught in a vividly grateful acoustic."
"A pastoral, flowing, discreetly orchestrated composition."
Jim Westhead is a reviewer for MusicWeb International.
"Cousin’s immense ability is just a given and that puts the focus squarely on the music and him in our debt, as are the Convivium engineers who have provided excellent recorded sound. I wish more piano recitals were as thoughtful as this.”
Dominic Hartley is a reviewer for MusicWeb International.
"A genuinely interesting recital then from a fine vocal ensemble, well recorded in a good acoustic."
"A genuinely enjoyable recital offering impressive and insightful performances of a wide range of often unfamiliar music.”
"Readers with an interest in contemporary English choral music should seek out this disc, which will, I feel sure, be a pleasurable and rewarding listen."
"A reissue to be savoured by Warlockians. I am delighted to see it restored with such care by the Convivium team.”
"A very well-thought work that entertains throughout... thoroughly enjoyable”
David Barker is a reviewer for MusicWeb International.
“A thoroughly enjoyable two-odd hours of listening. The recording engineer Myles Eastwood deserves huge credit for the excellent sound. One hopes that Marija Jankova Noller will return to the studio again, perhaps to explore more of her native Bulgaria’s music.”
Steve Arloff is a reviewer for MusicWeb International.
“The disc is a wondrous document one might want to play over and over again.”
“The Atchison Quartet play these works with awareness of his [Gibbs] circumscribed ambition, and have been well recorded”
Nick Barnard is a reviewer for MusicWeb International.
“A valuable disc that allows listeners to enjoy and appreciate the effective and attractive music of Armstrong Gibbs”
