“here is a situation where the quality of the music really does make its obscurity hard to understand...the composer's searching imagination, technical precision and sure self-knowledge all denote a striking talent...Stone and Lepper's interpretations are superb and memorable from start to finish - a situation that in turns says much about the strength of the music itself.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2013 ****
“The variety of Orr's settings is remarkable, although many of them have an underlying air of melancholy or nostalgia...Stone, the excellent baritone who has planned and sings this comprehensive recital so impressively, is obviously thoroughly at home in this repertoire...I recommend these two discs strongly to all lovers of English song and even more to singers” Gramophone Magazine, December 2012
“Fans of English song should be grateful to Stone and Lepper for their efforts to make this music better known.” The Guardian, 23rd August 2012 ***
