". . .the American period in Britten's early life has recently proved to be a rich vein and it has now revealed a group of seven part-songs on which the composer was working when he arrived in the U.S. Its ideas are strong and simple, the music strikingly interprets the essential thought within each of the poems. . .a fine and intellectually rigorous piece that rewards repeated listening. . ." Richard Fairman, Financial Times, November 1988
