Review:
 

“Not surprisingly perhaps for a former pupil of the legendary Nadia Boulanger, there is a consistency that runs through the heart of all of these works: namely a concern with both the vertical and horizontal aspects of the music, whereby the importance of melody, harmony and contrapuntal line combine to play a crucial part in the structural cohesion of the finished score. Manchester based Psappha give highly committed performances of all five works… this premiere Powers recording is long overdue but better late than never!” - Christopher Thomas (MusicWeb)

“Powers is a renowned craftsman who operates in 'enriched tonality' and is a determined contrapuntist, as befits a Nadia Boulanger pupil. Well recorded in Cheshire, this first CD devoted entirely to his music is a release which will give a great deal of pleasure.” - Peter Grahame Woolf (MusicWeb)
