'… An unmistakable and unforgettable work from 1932, showing influences of jazz, of some thing intensive counterpoint-like à la Ravel and Honegger, yet being actually different from everything else in the repertoire. A robust Allegro and a blues-like Andante are followed by a brilliant attractive modal finale, almost minimalist with its hypnotic ostinatos.' BBC Music Magazine
