Goehr Little Symphony, Piano Trio, String Quartet No.2

"The belated release of numerous distinguished Lyrita recordings as CDs means one can enjoy again these significant performances of works by a composer at the peak of his early maturity. The tautly argued, half-hour-long, misleadingly titled Little Symphony impresses once more as a profound synthesis of 12-tone and classical approaches to large scale form...The String Quartet No.2 seems to continue where Schoenberg's quartets leave off. The powerfully compact, two-movement Piano Trio is a 20th century classic." Paul Driver, The Sunday Times '10 best records of 2008' *** PENGUIN GUIDE 2010
