"Editor's choices - March 2019: The three shorter works are the real gems here: Connolly is by turns louche and affectionate in the settings of poems by Bennett's sister (inspired by photographs of the siblings' parents on holiday during the 1920s), and each portrait of the Zodiac springs to life so vividly that you're never in any doubt as to which sign's being depicted. The Reflections on a Sixteenth Century Tune will charm anyone who loves Warlock's Capriol Suite and Vaughan Williams's Tallis Fantasia".

"A symphony; a soloistic piece; other assorted fare: the album's mix follows its two predecessors in Chandos's survey of Richard Rodney Bennett's orchestral works ... John Wilson and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra dispatch it [the Symphony] with care and virtuosity ... [In] A History of the Thé Dansant - three songs on poems by Bennett's sister Meg Peacocke - a more conversational attack might have been better than Sarah Connolly's rather billowing tones".

"Beautifully played by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra ... Tucked in between the purely orchestral works is a revealing trio of settings for voice of three poems by Bennett's sister Margaret (Meg) Ruth Peacocke ... which Sarah Connolly enjoys as much for the sound of words as for theire meaning ... Bennett's gift for the lyric creeping up on you and quietly breaking your heart".
