"Busking was composed for Håkan Hardenberger and makes full use of his phenomenal virtuosity... a dazzling cross-cut fabric of competing rhythms, with the banjo and accordion adding a brittle, almost sardonic edge."
The Guardian

"The vocal lines, shrouded in a halo of incense-laden atmosphere, are delivered with wonderful fluidity, the sense of organic growth as the verses branch out from their plainchant roots beautifully conveyed, the choral tone warm and comforting
and the overall sound profoundly beautiful" ... "This disc bears testament to a rare
and wonderful relationship between composer, choir and conductor. Long may it continue"
Marc Rochester, Gramophone Magazine, November 2011

“The highlight is James MacMillan's "Seraph", with the assertive opening brio
giving way to a more reflective Adagio dialogue between trumpet and violin, before emerging refreshed for the animated closing movement.”
The Independent

"Written within the space of only 10 years, each symphony employs Martinu's thoroughly characteristic musical language to convey very different moods and emotions, from the epic first to the experimental, fantastic sixth. Recommended."  The Observer, July 2011

Naxos 8.572712

Click here to purchase this CD from Amazon

"Vesalii Icones is one of Peter Maxwell Davies's supreme achievements. An extraordinarily allusive, multilayered fusion of dance and music, its dramatic shape superimposes the 14 stations of the cross on a series of 16th-century anatomical drawings by Vesalius, with a dancer and a solo cellist as the protagonists."  The Guardian, August 2011
