"In 1971 Sir Arthur Bliss celebrated his eightieth year, and as a tribute to the man who had been their President for 17 years, the Performing Rights Society sponsored a Lyrita LP of his music. Even in his late seventies Bliss was a very fine conductor, and all his performances have much character and remarkable vitality. None of these items show the composer at his greatest, but they are all very approachable and attractive" Gramophone
"This is a desirable and remarkably generous collection which must not be overlooked by any serious Bliss enthusiast. It includes some unusual works not accessible elsewhere ..." Rob Barnett, www.musicweb-international.com Click here to read the full review
"The playing time is close on eighty minutes. Given the authority of the composer’s accounts of three of the pieces, plus the undeniable advocacy of the rest, this is a mandatory purchase for all lovers of the music of Bliss ..."
