Lasting almost an hour, [L’Île Enchantée's] charms include typically perky woodwind writing, a sense of poise, a disarming galop and a very danceable set of variations...Andrews secures sparkling playing from the BBC Concert Orchestra, ever ready to enjoy the lilt and wink in Sullivan’s music, even if the album’s pieties and thumbtwiddlings leave them high and dry.

Andrews and the BBC Concert Orchestra approach [the Procession March], as they approach everything here, with a keen sense of colour and an infectious rhythmic verve – particularly effective in the featherlight woodwind-writing and piquant melodies of the ballet, which contains the irresistibly titled movement ‘Enter Gnomes’.
