"The two performances on this CD should both have a place of honour in any Bax collection."
(MusicWeb Oct 2008)

"I had quite forgotten how very good these readings are: the digital remastering is splendid; and what a tremendous impact Fredman's reading of Bax's Second Symphony makes! A very warm welcome back to these important Bax recordings that can compare very favourably with the best."
(MusicWeb May 2008)
