“one of the most enjoyable records that I have heard for a long time and fills a gap in the catalogue … The greatest joy is the famous clog dance Handel in the Strand, a rare bit of musical humour that never fails with its impudence … The playing indeed is splendid throughout and the recording is absolutely first-rate with just that little extra touch of realism from stereo. This is a record that deserves to sell like the proverbial hot cakes.” – Gramophone
“Lively and sympathetic performances … the rhythmic pieces come off best in sound always clear and clean” – Penguin Guide
