"...a good mixture of Grainger's compositions, recompositions and arrangements of folk-melodies is presented. Most rewarding, perhaps, are those in which strong folk material is made the basis of works that go far beyond the score of the initial tune.
A fine instance is Green Bushes. Butterworth used a variant of this in his The Banks of Green Willow, but with Grainger it serves quite different ends in a well-organized passacaglia. The two movements from his Youthful Suite are remarkable for a teenager without formal training in composition, although it is inevitably the later scores which show the inventiveness of his orchestral writing. Blithe Bells, which takes ''Sheep may safey graze'' as its starting point, is gently iconoclastic, My Robin is beautiful in an individual way and here played with the sort of ''drowsy lilt'' Grainger indicated. And there is excellent work from Moray Welsh in the quietly rhapsodic Youthful Rapture."
