Rezensionen
These are high-class arrangements . . . The arrangements themselves are consistently pleasurable, and many are a joy. Ken Burton . . . contributes five of the 12 numbers. His work seems to go from strength to strength, always writing from inside the style, never doing a fussy or flashy thing where a simple thing will do, consistently providing both an element aof surprise and emotional uplift where needed . . . Multi-talented Roderick Williams provides a different style of arranging entirely - clever, self-aware, tricksy, virtuoso . . . The book is attractively presented, not too bulky, and the music, even where quite complex, is clearly laid out and easy to read. Matthew Greenall, The Singer Oct 04
