"... an excellent companion to the three Hoddinott symphonies. Nocturnes and Cadenzas is an ideal work to try if you want to know if Hoddinott is for you: its three nocturnes are finely coloured and quite characteristic, and the linking cadenzas have both clear structural function and expressive weight. The Concertino for viola has a particularly eloquent finale … and both of these concertante pieces are extremely well played. So are the others (how fortunate Hoddinott has been in his soloists), and the recordings still sound well" Michael Oliver, Gramophone
