`If his treatment of the output is more descriptive than analytical, it is skillfully interwoven with salient episodes of the biography, so that the writing far transends the dryness of a catalogue raisonee, while the personal memoir and selected correspondence added at the end deepens the evocation of Vaughan William's personality.'
Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine, Oct 2000.
'His exposition on the composer's life and music is both comprehensive and superlative.'
