"The orchestra and chorus both perform superbly; it is nice to hear a really big choir sing this music - 137 singers are listed - as Delius would have expected in his earlier performances. They maintain pitch even in the most exposed passages of Sea Drift".

"Andrew Davis combines a sensitive feeling for tempo and shape with superfine detail of phrasing and balancing - perfectly supported by a recording which makes everything luminous clear within a spacious acoustic".

"I sometimes think Appalachia is the piece one ought to start with, when attempting to persuade non-Delians that their phobia is groundless. What a unique work! ... On the present evidence, the Florida orchestra, new to me, is well up the mark".

"Vurdering: G (Gramophone recommends)" - "Indeed, Davis's diligent control of this extraordinary material makes for compelling listening. More please, Sir Andrew!".
