Editor's Choice (Gramophone Magazine) May 2002

"A good question for a musical quiz: which British symphony of the 1930s recevied its première in the USA played by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra? The answer: Bax's Fourth (conducted by Basil Cameron). It's the symphony that most immediately appeals here, its seascapes beautifullt evoked. The two shorter works also receive powerful advocacy from Lloyd-Jones and the fine Scottish orchestra. Worth trying by the inquisitive - and a must for Baxians."
- Editor's Choice (Gramophone Magazine) May 2002

"Lloyd-Jones does not blur orchestral textures to create 'impressionism'. His woodwinds stand out, adding important color, energy, and briskness; the first violins are sweet and silvery, and the brass are crisp and clean." American Record Guide
