"Second is a cheerful, extrovert work, in the manner of those other exiles who encountered Paris in the 1920s....a lively, well-fashioned work ....last of the series, No. 6, is a much bigger work but in many ways a more straightforward one, though it too requires virtuoso musicianship. This it receives from Murray McLachlan, not to mention from the brilliant young orchestra .....freshness and exuberance but a sense of style for which the conductor Julian Clayton can take much credit..... collectors interested in Tcherepnin need have no hesitation in acquiring this"
