Review:
 

"The anthology of premiere recordings ... is truly historic. Walter Goehr's 1943 recording of the Double Concerto - co-produced by Benjamin Britten while Tippett was in prison as a conscientious objector - seems to use only a small number of players, but has a gripping intensity. ... NMC's presentation of these discs is impeccable; Anthony Burton's notes add up to a substantial and fascinating essay on early Tippett recordings."
