"King Olaf has been recorded in full once before, in the 1980s ... Fine though that version is, Davis's is better: it has a dramatic sweep and concern for detail that you don't get from Handley. The Bergen orchestra and choir play and sing Elgar as though it were part of their regular repertoire, while the soloists ... all cope well with what is sometimes strenuous vocal writing".

"The Bergen orchestra plays with a keen ear for colour and dramatic flux, and the chorus ... makes the narrative live and breathe in suppleness, expressive sensitivity and lusty power ... Three fine soloists ... carry the story with great distinction, subtlety and immediacy of impact".

"What a nice idea it was to have a Norwegian choir and orchestra performing English music about a Norse hero ... The combined Norwegian choirs sing very well indeed in both works ... [and] the Bergen Philharmonic plays with verve and distinction. Sir Andrew Davis ... is just the man for these assignments".

"One can admire the fine Norwegian choirs, who, having done superbly by their national saga, put as much into the hailing of the England's "great race" and our Union Jack" ... There are good programme essays".
