"This is music of impeccable craft and genuine substance, always sure of its goal and shot through with Leighton's own pungent brand of lyricism." (Gramophone)

"This is music of impeccable craft and genuine substance, always sure of its goal and shot through with Leighton's own pungent brand of lyricism. Likewise the meaty and rewarding Sonata for solo cello that Leighton wrote for Joan Dickson in the summer of 1967 amply repays close scrutiny...Suffice it to report, Wallfisch and Terroni are superbly persuasive exponents"
(Gramophone)

"For all his fluency, Leighton is sometimes elusive in terms of style and idiom, on the cusp of modernism but not a true believer; yet you know you are in the hands of a true composer, and the onus is thus on the listener to go back to a piece such as [the Sonata] until it has gelled in the mind. This, thankfully, as a result of this fine disc, you can now do."
(International Record Review)
