'Hyperion have once again triumphed in rescuing some inexplicably neglected Scottish music ... it is simply unbelievable that the symphonic poems presented here have had to wait till now to be recorded ... Once again Martyn Brabbins procures superbly assured and crafted performances from the BBCSO, and the recorded sound too is of the highest quality' (Gramophone)
