'[...] the members of The Prince Regent’s Band are to be warmly congratulated on this enterprising exploration of an almost entirely forgotten area of musical history.'
Early Music Review

'[...] I felt I was taking a sumptuous bath in nothing but golden syrup [...] everything here is nimble and bright, and well worth a listen'
BBC Music Magazine

'What a wonderful find! This is exactly what we need in the build up to Christmas. Much of the music is familiar – arrangements of Meyerbeer, Donizetti, Verdi and Arne – alongside works by Henry and Theodore Distin with lesser known pieces. [...] I can’t recommend this too highly – it is a gem!'
Lark Reviews

'The playing is superb, the five players producing an excellent consort sound. This ia a fascinating little glimpse into a little-known part of musical history.'
Andrew Benson-Wilson (andrewbensonwilson.org)

'Overall this is a fascinating exploration of a genre and a group of instruments. Not everyone will want to listen regularly to this particular combination of pieces, but there is no denying the superb musicianship of the members of The Prince Regent's Band, nor the importance of the Distin family.'
