"The Sinking of the Titanic is a kind of meditation, but is also more than this. I always find it a moving experience ... this is a well-produced release and comes highly recommended, even if you already have one of the other recorded versions - there are now around five available. Each one has its own character, and this one is every bit as remarkable as any of the others and perhaps even more so".

"The cumulative effect is extraordinarily powerful, mixing entirely abstract concepts with direct evocations of the disaster, and the several minutes of wild applause at the end of the live performance are retained ... Highly recommended, even for those quite familiar with the work".
