“If you have a weakness for Grainger the orchestral wizard, then this is one disc you simply cannot afford to be without … I hope Simon will soon follow it up (I long for new recordings of priceless miniatures like Children’s March and Colonial Song); in the meantime, see if you agree with Delius who thought The Warriors “by far Grainger’s greatest thing” . I know I do.” (critic’s Choice, Dec.1990, Gramophone)
