  "Wonderful to have had Bryn Terfel on this disc in one of his first recordings. Baroque still works well on modern instruments, and a lot of thought went into articulation and tempos for this recording! Chamber choir of ex-OxBridge singers selected and coached by Neville Creed were superb, mixture of male and female altos sound interesting. Hope you like the tempos, we didn't hang around, none of that massed choirs at the Albert Hall stuff!"

"Great sax playing here from the Irishman, Gerry McChrystall in Torke's vigorous minimilist music. The rest of the album includes Michael Nyman's demanding Sax Concerto Where The Bee Dances which Gerry and I toured all round the UK in Christopher Bruce's ballet Meeting Point with Rambert Dance Company. We had great fun with this music and audiences just loved it"

"I tried to meet Galina Ustvolskaya, Shostakovich's favourite pupil, on a visit to Moscow before I recorded her haunting Symphony Amen with Segei Leferkus, but she was not in the mood for a visitor, reclusive and deeply religious. We were lucky to get Leferkus to record this which is spoken not sung, in case you don't speak Russian it's The Lord's Prayer. Later, Danny Massey recited it in English with London Musici at a concert at St John's Smith Square. Its not music to listen to if you are feeling down, you can hear the nails being driven into the Cross!"
