"Vernon Handley conducts vital and committed performances of these works, and his sympathy for the music is refreshingly convincing. Remember that Moeran featured in one of Handley's early recordings. I had never heard these performances of the symphony and the overture before; I enjoyed them enormously. I know too that many believe Boult's recording made for Lyrita to be the one to have; but I must admit that to date I have never been able to hear. I have happily lived with Neville Dilkes' recording on EMI for many years. Lloyd-Jones's recording for Naxos I found slightly disappointing, but I think that my reservations about this performance have more to do with the recording than the actual performance which is very fine indeed."
