Press Quotes

"...this is a compact work, comprising an expansive, moody slow movement in between two sparkling fireworks, which fizz and die. Inspired by Philip Larkin's poem Aubade, the middle movement sinks into the dark despair of a sleepless night, when the eyes look out through the stillness of the gloom and imagine the endless inactivity of death."
Financial Times

"Each movement has a poetic or poem heading: Alba for the lively, jazz, metrically sophisticated first one; Aubade for the central, songful adagio; Unruly Sun for the pulsing finale."
Sunday Times
