'These bubbly versions [10 Pieces for Wind] by the Athena Ensemble, the only ones in the catalogue, are highly recommended at bargain price.' The Observer

"Elgar was a slow developer, and these pieces written in his youth are hardly prophetic - but they're craftsmanlike, charming and fun. This pioneering recording stands up well." BBC Music Magazine, September 2006 ****
