Press Reviews "These [songs] were startling, for they cultivated the idiom, manner and even cliches of pre-Hugo Wolff lieder, tuneful, consonant, and furnished with thick, throbbing accompaniments. The best of them were three untitled treatments of Christina Rosetti's romantic song-scapes..." Christopher Grier in The Scotsman "...the simple but effective melodies captured the essence of Rossetti's verses..."Susan Nickalls in The Scotsman "There was a standing ovation after the last chord of "My Nanie O" had stopped ringing. 'Why can't there be more music like that?' was the question that many people asked." Carson P. Cooman, US composer and promoter
