"This live recording of a Prague concert last January is apparently the work's first in the original English that Martinů set, and benefits enormously from a strong cast of native speakers (including soprano Lucy Crowe and tenor Andrew Staples). The confident chorus and vibrant orchestra are conducted by Manfred Honeck, and Simon Callow provides actorly narration".

"Musically, the score is recognisably Martinů's, minus that overt joie de vivre but plus a sprinkling of the apocalyptic ... We get all the score's churn and urgency, and tender luminosity too ... Of the soloists, Derek Welton makes the most impact, perhaps because of the music he is given ... Callow is a galvanising narrator ... We have an absorbing piece here in a generally fine performance caught with atmosphere".
