'Wit and polish: The Berkeley Ensemble do their namesake proud [...] The playing is superb throughout, the recording warm and clear'
BBC Music Magazine (Chamber Choice, 5 stars performance & recording)

'[...] there is the high quality of the performances by the Berkeley Ensemble, a malleable group which, like the Nash Ensemble, can adapt itself to to different formats and plays as if it were truly inside the music'
The Daily Telegraph

'Outstanding in the exuberantly performed sequence are the expressive central adagio of the Op 19 String Trio and the 1971 Introduction and Allegro for double bass (Lachlan Radford) and piano (Libby Burgess)'
The Sunday Times

'This brilliant young ensemble, formed from members of the Southbank Sinfonia in 2008, made a strong impact in their debut recording. This release is just as polished [...] Informative notes from Berkeley's biographer Tony Scotland complete a fascinating release - well recorded too'
Gramophone

'I haven’t singled out individual performers or performances because they are each, it seems to me, ideal and wonderfully illuminating [...] The Berkeley Ensemble can be trusted to show a total belief and understanding in the composer and his language.'
