Quentin Letts, Daily Mail Arts Correspondent | April 2004 |
| ""Romany Wood is England music's answer to Peter and the Wolf. We heard it at Worcester cathedral, a hundred children's voices rising to the great rafters. It was right, somehow, to be almost in the shadow of Elgar's Malvern Hills as we lost ourselves in music the very spirit of English pastoralism. Wonderful." " |
|
Richard Edmonds, B'ham Post | July 2002 |
| "“Romany Wood was . .highlight of the evening . . delicate tints of Vaughan Williams and Elgar were there, but this was an exquisitely English piece, so rare today and so beautifully made, thus deserving a future far beyond its first night venue. And how perfect it was for the children was amply demonstrated in the fluent singing of the smiling youngsters . .” " |
