“…extreme dissonance, coupled with expressive strangeness and violence, is heard insistently on Opera from Darragh Morgan and Mary Dullea. …there is delicate charm to be found too, in Richard Causton's Seven States of Rain, and a sinister-comic fascination in Morgan Hayes' Opera, which is much the best piece on the CD. The two soloists are...agile, incisive and impassioned in their playing...”
“Of the six young British composers sampled here, Joe Cutler dispenses with the piano for a hard-edged fantasy which embraces virtuosity with the freedom of composers as disparate as Pärt and Zimmermann”
