 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
REVIEWS:
Fanfare (7-8/98, p.84) - "...The interpretations by members of the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Ensemble...are splendidly fervent yet precise in a very idiomatic manner, and Chandos's close and detailed miking allows one to hear and follow each and every strand and inflection in Bax's supercharged syntax."
BBC Music (6/98, p.54) - Performance: 5 (out of 5), Sound: 5 (out of 5) - "...'In memoriam'...is a moving and plaintive sextet with a folk-like main theme. It shows Bax's great flair for writing harp music, in ensemble or solo - evident again in 'Threnody and Scherzo'....The horn gives perspective and melancholic grandeur to the Octet. Margaret Fingerhut revels in all its romance and passion."
