Reviews

'An absolute riot for cricket fans, this is quite extraordinary collection of cricket music, including a Village Rondo for piano by Matthew Holst, great-grandfather of Gustav, believe it or not' (Choral Guide)» More

For some there will be memories of mucky white flannels and sweaty jock-straps on the playing fields of some of England’s prestigious academic institutions. Much moral fibre, unashamed allegiance and exaltation in evidence as provided by a plethora of music masters and associates: Uppingham, Harrow, Banstead, Sedburgh and Eton to the fore, don’t you know!
