American Reocrd Guide
"Vernon Handley conducts vital and committed performances of these works, and his sympathy for the music is refreshingly convincing. Remember that Moeran featured in one of Handley's early recordings. I had never heard these performances of the symphony and the overture before; I enjoyed them enormously. I know too that many believe Boult's recording made for Lyrita to be the one to have; but I must admit that to date I have never been able to hear. I have happily lived with Neville Dilkes' recording on EMI for many years. Lloyd-Jones's recording for Naxos I found slightly disappointing, but I think that my reservations about this performance have more to do with the recording than the actual performance which is very fine indeed."
