“Eight works by a composer whose craftsmanship is as fastidious as his imagination is spirited.” - Paul Driver (The Sunday Times)

“Here is another useful compendium of music [by John Casken] , whose idiom is accessible-modernist. The recordings are good and the production is of Metier's usual high standard.”- Peter Grahame Woolf (Musical Pointers)

“This approachable music is well played” - Peter Spaull (Liverpool Daily Post)
