Rezensionen
»There are few discs I expect to enjoy half as much in this year's listening. Very enjoyable, unpretentious music; a disc very well worth trying« (Gramophone)
»One of the most unexpected delights I've had for a long time« (BBC Record Review)
»This charming ode shows [Linley] sharing with Mozart something of that barely definable but unmistakable gift of melodic genius. The music is as beautiful as the text is absurd, full of shapely tunes that once heard linger hauntingly in the memory« (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)
