“The Hallé's exceptional leader, Lyn Fletcher, delivered a fleetingly evanescent account of Vaughan Williams's The Lark Ascending. Best of all, however, was a mistily evocative performance of Gerald Finzi's autumnal tone poem The Fall of the Leaf - a fittingly seasonal homage in the 50th anniversary year of a composer who had a keen interest in English varieties of apple. This one, however, was a peach.” (The Guardian, 8th November 2005, reviewing the live performance on 3rd November)
