Reviews

"The two 'serious' works on the program, Symphony No. 1 and Intravariations (for piano and orchestra), have all the same qualities of the lighter works: a deft orchestral touch and a real sense of purpose, an accuracy of expression and clarity of vision that let you know right away that you're in good hands... Collectors take note: this is 80 minutes of terrific music by a composer of real personality and style. Try it. I feel certain you'll want more." (David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com, Oct. 9, 2007)

"[This CD] will help stimulate performances of Horwood's music and allay the fears of prospective concertgoers faced with the prospect of an unfamiliar name on the program - don't worry folks, this guy isn't going to bite you." (Uncle Dave Lewis, allmusic.com, Jan. 2008)

"Albany's orchestral sound, captured in Poland, is fine and a credit to these works... Musically, it's pretty good, too.
"... themes stay in the mind.
"... all this music is undemanding and enjoyable, straight off... the disc is recommended." (Paul Ingram, Fanfare Magazine, Jan./Feb. 2008)

"... an excellent performance of worthwhile music in good sonics... Horwood's own unique musical language is expressed in an overall style of romanticism." (John Sunier, Audiophile Audition, Nov. 4, 2008)
