“The Dragon of Wantley,” in short, is a marvelous rediscovery…

A world premiere on CD - it is not one listeners or, for that matter, scholars of English opera would want to miss.”

"if Lutyens's rich and strange EOS takes a little longer to yield its secrets, Jones and Andrews are the most clear-eyed of advocates..."

@GramophoneMag: '@RebecaOmordia has its measure, as well as Wallen’s coruscating expressiveness. The @BBCCO ... provide spot-on accompaniments throughout under @JKAConductor’s firm direction.'

"@ErrollynWallen's 'Piano Concerto' brings us into the present day... Every movement offers entertainment, superbly played by soloist @RebecaOmordia from the bluesy second movement, the gossamer-light third and a finale that bursts with life." (Rebecca Franks)

"This terrific recording features three composers, two pianists and one orchestra. All the pieces...are discoveries you'll want to hear many times again...
The BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by John Andrews capture the music's bite and purpose."
