Reviews
The performance revealed a score of real merit: the suitably festive Allegro is preceded by a Lento of unusually impressionistic sensitivity and harmonic delicacy. A Prom must, if not heard before at the South Bank.
THE SUNDAY TIMES
This piece by a composer from Wales was very much a tour de force and in the grand manner. But there was fastidious subtlety here as well.
