“The BBC Philharmonic under the sympathetic baton of Paul Daniel seem to enjoy the experience, and the engineering is as ripe as accommodating as we have come to expect from Chandos.” --Gramophone Magazine, May 2008
“Delius with a splash of Eric Coates. Bainton is worth knowing, and is strongly espoused in these premiere recordings by Paul Daniel and the excellent BBC Philharmonic.” --BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ****

“All four works were composed prior to Bainton's permanent move to Australia in 1934, by far the most ambitious being the Concerto fantasia for piano and orchestra which won Bainton his second Carnegie Award. It is cast in four movements, launched by a solo cadenza destined to reappear at salient points throughout the work's half-hour course. Margaret Fingerhut's limpid pianism proves tailor-made for such a gorgeously lyrical, tenderly poetic and subtly integrated offering, which bids farewell in the sunset glow of a somewhat Baxian epilogue.
Bainton himself was the soloist for the 1921 world premiere of the Concerto fantasia in Bournemouth, where it shared a programme with the extremely fetching Three Pieces for Orchestra (1916-20). These grew out of incidental music for two Shakespeare productions in Ruhleben Camp near Berlin, where Bainton was held during the First World War, and are followed here by another most attractive triptych, the Pavane,Idyll and Bacchanal that Bainton wrote in 1924 for amateur groups but which requires a high level of technical expertise.
Unheard for the best part of a century, the four-movement suite The Golden River (1908, but revised four years later) derives its inspiration from a short story by John Ruskin and packs plenty of touching and colourful invention into its 16-minute span.
The BBC Philharmonic under the sympathetic baton of Paul Daniel seem to enjoy the experience. Excellent sound.” --Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010
