October 2012
Wright's idiom - both listener-friendly and superbly skilled, with never a wasted note - has no problems sustaining a 35-minute design. Violinist Fenella Humphreys responds to its elegiac reflection and technical display at top-flight level, offering emotional depth and weight of tone...The performance [of the Vaughan Williams] is as moving, and as beautifully paced and played...as any I have heard.
May 2012
Fenella Humphreys's performance is a wonder, and Christopher Watson, too, though backwardly balanced, sings with total conviction...The performance is very fine...The Romanza is as passionate and richly euphonious as you are likely to hear, and the return of the symphony's opening music shortly before the end is most convincingly handled...I warmly recommend this beautifully recorded disc.
