Review Michael Kennedy, The Sunday Telegraph, 18 February 2001
  

…this is an appealing essay in the honourable English tradition of short nature pieces – rather like a present-day equivalent of Delius’s First Cuckoo. Attractively scored and making evocative use of a luscious cello melody as well as of a lively dance section, this is the sort of
audience-friendly work our chamber orchestras should rush to include in their repertory.
