'… lyricism flowers, uninhibitedly, especially in Introit, with its sinuous, aspiring solo string lines and singing trumpets'
The Independent (Stephen Johnson), 2 November 1992

'… has the same undercurrent of sound as Britten’s sea-music, the same sense of power held in rein… it came across serene, unhurried, a fine work'
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, November 1993
