"Tomlinson pulls off the feat magnificently. There's a deep, grainy quality to his voice that catches the sorrow and cynicism of the Green Knight perfectly ... Another strength of this recording is the weirdly intense vocal sound of Marie Angel ... As for the orchestral playing, it catches both the dark fatalistic quality of the score and its moments of beauty".

"Tomlinson as the Green Knight has peerless authority and you can hear his every word ... Francois Le Roux here, after a slow start, fleshes out the character of Gawain in Act 2 and becomes a worthy adversary".
