November 2012
Mark Stone and Sholto Kynoch prove strong interpreters of the songs, some of the most individual in the British repertoire...Strongly recommended.
November 2012
This recital by Mark Stone and pianist Sholto Kynoch makes a good case for this body of work to be taken seriously. They make a most effective team, enjoying the melancholy moments as much as those clearly predicated on a fully orchestral view of the keyboard writing.

Mark Stone’s baleful baritone does the songs justice, but not much more. Jonathan Stone and Sholto Kynoch have a more rewarding task reviving some of Brian’s piano and violin pieces.
