 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"The three Butterworth...are based on folksongs, written simply and have a pleasant, good humoured appeal. Jeffrey Tate responds to their lyrical charms naturally and easily, and the performances are excellent... Bridge's There is a Willow takes the English pastoral style on a journey where tonality and harmony are more radically explored than is the norm. Tate finds in the piece much the right kind of brooding introspection...Two of the three Bax works have been recorded before, but ''Evening Piece'' is new to the catalogue: and this is the first recording of the complete triptych. Though Bax uses a characteristically rich orchestral palette the music is strong in outline and Tate seems at home in its lush romanticism... Throughout the programme the ECO's playing is warm and sensitive, while the recording...has plenty of presence and life."
-- The GRAMOPHONE
