"Evening Service in D, bold as brass, with moments of cheapness and of ethereal glory, is a young scholars 'home thoughts from abroad'...a real orchestral feel to the organ part and an unbearable nostalgia for gothis choir stalls in the Nunc Dimittis. Saint Catharine's do it proud, with great drive and great tenderness...the Te Deum and Benedictus...show that his interests, though more refined now, had not fundamentally changed. The Benedicite, too, is a beautiful product of his latter years...all most enjoyable, and exceedingly well done."
Gramophone
"all sung with striking freshness...excellent recording too"
