(Fireworks) "The resulting sound is splendid, helped along by judicious editing the brass and percussion do often kindle a glorious blaze which is caught beautifully by the recording, an extravaganza which can scarcely fail to become a collectors' piece." (Concerto a due Cori) "chief praise to Mr. Mackerras for uncovering this splendid Concerto for two wind bands - a transcription of some of Handel's arrangements from oratorio and organ concertos - I expect to see it widely performed." (Water Music) "orchestral playing throughout is quite outstanding: the strings wonderfully expressive, the horns excel. A splendid bargain." (Penguin Guide)
