'… extending a time-honoured lineage from Dowland's Lachrymae to Tippett's Corelli Fantasia. Moving through six stages of depression over the course of 70 minutes, Henson charts a surprisingly wide tonal and expressive terrain, sketched before him by Nick Drake and Arvo Pärt as well as his own 'Romantic Works' album of 2014, but now developed with an individual patience and confidence that allow him to string out the implications of a dissonant chord or a passacaglia sequence over extended spans.'
