'A very worthwhile reissue.' BBC-Music

'Even those who do not respond to Bridge's early music should be persuaded by this playing; it is of exceptional eloquence and sensitivity. The Hyperion recording is altogether superb, in the demonstration bracket' (Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

'The performances catch the subtly shifting moods as effectively as any currently on record, and the recordings sound as atmospheric and sensitively balanced as when they first appeared. A very worthwhile reissue.'
***** Five Stars BBC Music Magazine (July 2001)

"Eloquent performances of some captivating rarities in these reissues from Hyperion."
Gramophone August 2001
