“The players on their period instruments...characterise well, not least in several of the pavens which are much longer and more varied than most of the dances...Happily, the players regularly emphasise the dance element in these pieces, springing the triple-time rhythms infectiously, notably in the vigorous corants.”

“The performers are intent on conveying the integrity, the sense of wholeness and seriousness of purpose with which Lawes must have gone into the enterprise. That is to say, they make a performance, an 'event', or an 'occasion' out of this wonderfully melodic and inventive music - and bring it fully to life...They convey the depth and beauty of what Lawes could do.”
