• Recorded sound is up to the usual high Chandos standards and Anthony Burton’s notes are excellent. This is a release I recommend with the greatest enthusiasm to anyone with an interest in British music, and I greatly look forward to further releases in the series. A winner.
International Record Review
• Chandos is one of my favourite record companies. They have a fine feeling for sound, and they like to make large collections of good modern composers. Here begins a series of the orchestral music of Richard Rodney Bennett… I found the programme very enjoyable and beautifully played and recorded.
American Record Guide
• Blindfolded you might easily guess some newly discovered score by Bernstein or Copland, as Sir Richard Rodney Bennett’s 1995 Partita shoots off the blocks and into busy action. That’s meant as no disservice to the piece – it’s strongly individual, and undoubtedly reflects Bennett’s year of US residence and his extensive work in film music. He wanted the Partita to be ‘full of tunes’ and it is, Richard Hickox and the Philharmonia producing a punchy generously lyrical performance… An auspicious start to what could be a very interesting series.
BBC Music Magazine
• No hint here of Bennett the Boulez pupil of the 1950s: this first volume in an orchestral survey concentrates on his more recent music, cushioned with tunes and English lyricism. The Partita bubbles with warmth, Songs before Sleep (featuring Jonathan Lemalu) sets nursery rhymes with respect, and the two Reflections for strings glory in idiomatic writing. All easy fare for Richard Hickox and the Philharmonia.
Gramophone
• It’s hard to imagine a more beguiling start to this series or a more appealing introduction to Richard Rodney Bennett than this CD…I can’t imagine anyone not being enraptured by this CD.
Gramophone
• With the impeccable Richard Hickox conducting the Philharmonia, these nuanced and authoritative interpretations are everything one could wish and expect… In both departments of his musical activities, as composer or performer, Chandos has done Bennett proud. Further volumes in either series will be something to look forward to.
